Captain Paul Watson is a Marine Wildlife Conservation and Environmental Activist. He co-founded Greenpeace, and is the Founder of the SEA SHEPHERD Conservation Society. This master mariner has spent most of his career on the water, often risking his own life to protect the 'crew of Spaceship Earth'. The wildlife that we simply CANNOT live without.

He's won more prestigious awards than I can list... He's in the US Animal Rights Hall of Fame, and he's been awarded the Amazon Peace Prize (nothing to do with Bezos).

We talk about sinking illegal fishing boats, what it's like to be a wanted man, if us humans need to eliminate fish from our diet, if the Dalai Lama is a good lunch date, and much much more...
