E42 - Paul Update with Captain Locky MacLean Aug 20, 2024

In this episode of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation Podcast, we catch up with Captain Locky MacLean. Locky gives us an update on Paul's quest for freedom. Unfortunately at the last hearing on August 15th, the judge in Greenland chose to keep Paul in detention longer while the Danish Minister of Justice considers Japan's extradition request. Locky makes the point that while Paul sits in a prison in Nuuk, Greenland, the Japanese whalers are out in the Pacific ocean killing fin whales and searching for new waters to kill more. We need to get Paul freed so that he and his crew can stop Japan from killing more whales.

E40 - FREE PAUL WATSON - with Captain Locky MacLean Jul 28, 2024

In today's very important episode of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation Podcast - we get a first hand account of Captain Watson's arrest from Captain Locky MacLean.
On July 21 2024, Captain Paul Watson was arrested by Danish police upon arrival in Nuuk, Greenland, onboard the M/Y John Paul DeJoria. Danish authorities claim that the arrest was made due to an international arrest warrant issued by Japan, related to his anti-whaling campaigns in the Antarctic more than a decade ago.

Paul faces the possibility of extradition to Japan, where he would serve a life sentence.

We need your help to #FREEPAULWATSON.

E34 - Announcing Operation Ice Storm with Rob Read and Captain Paul Watson Apr 21, 2024

In today's episode of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation Podcast we have the pleasure of speaking with Rob Read from CPWF UK and Captain Paul Watson. Rob and Paul talk about the urgent need to stop Kristján Loftsson from killing more endangered fin whales this year. While Loftsson still needs to secure a permit from the Icelandic government to kill whales, Rob and Paul point out that Loftsson's immense wealth and political power often means that he gets what he wants. Unfortunately the one thing Kristján Loftsson wants is to cruelly harpoon fin whales so he can sell the meat to Japan. Fin whales are the second largest mammal on earth and are key contributors to our global ecosystems. We need to save every fin whale we can! Rob and Paul also make the announcement of Operation Ice Storm - which is the CPWF's new campaign to make sure no fin whales are murdered.

E26 - Hitman For the Kindness Club - Captain Paul Watson Jan 24, 2024

In this episode we speak with Captain Paul Watson about his latest book Hitman for the Kindness Club. Here is a little bit about his book - Spanning 1961 to 2022, this electrifying collection of essays captures the spirit, mettle, and moxie of one of the most intrepid environmentalists of our times. Paul Watson developed an enduring passion for the wild as a youngster. This zeal propelled him on an uncharted adventure of outward exploration and inner evolution, with pivotal turning points bringing him to the realization that his life’s mission was to defend the natural world and all its inhabitants. Watson takes you along for the ride as he upends the Sierra Club, cofounds Greenpeace, establishes Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, and most recently the Captain Paul Watson Foundation. His courageous, often audacious campaigns, held on every ocean and every continent, are hallmarks of his stalwart defense of Indigenous people, marine wildlife, and ecosystems worldwide. These incredible true-life stories reveal how a dedicated group of people with gumption, resourcefulness, imagination, and clarity of purpose can change the world for the better. Still active, with a new foundation and a loyal crew, Watson shares his inspirational life lessons to encourage everyone to remain hopeful and to always be kind, without reservation or exception.

E25 - Ocean Killers Campaign - with Captain Watson and Lamya Essemlali Dec 04, 2023

In today's episode of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation Podcast we will be speaking with Captain Watson and Lamya Essemlali. Paul and Lamya will give us insight into Operation Ocean Killers, a joint campaign between the Captain Paul Watson Foundation and Sea Shepherd France against the Super Trawlers that are wiping out large schools of fish. The Super Trawlers are enormous vessels that target Mackerel, Herring, and Blue Whiting. These fish are important food sources for larger marine creatures like dolphins. Because the Super Trawlers are so efficient at wiping out fish populations, dolphins have been forced to move closer to shore in search of food. In some instances, dolphins have washed up dead on shore due to starvation. The Super Trawlers also directly kill marine animals by trapping them in their huge nets. This "bycatch" is largely unmonitored allowing the Super Trawlers to do as they please out at sea. It is the goal of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation and Sea Shepherd France to bring attention to these Super Trawlers so that they can be stopped from causing further ecological damage to our planet.

E18 - Lolita (Tokitae) the orca - with Captain Watson Apr 06, 2023

In today's episode of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation podcast, I get the chance to speak with Captain Watson about the announcement that Lolita may be released from her prison at the Miami Seaquarium in Florida. Lolita is a Southern Resident Killer Whale taken from her family (the L Pod) at the age of 4 back in 1970. She was sold to the Miami Seaquarium at this young age and used to earn a profit for her owners. Lolita currently lives in a very small tank - it is about 80ft x 35ft and is about 20 ft deep in the middle. Not much room at all for a 20 ft long orca.
Paul and I go over the issues with the recent announcement that Lolita is going to be freed. The process of getting Lolita back to the Pacific Northwest is going to take a long time, about 2 years. In those 2 years a lot can go wrong.
The Dolphin Company recently purchased the Miami Seaquarium. The Dolphin Company later was told by the government that Lolita can no longer perform for the public. The announcement to free Lolita seems like a business tactic by The Dolphin Company to unload a useless and expensive asset. It costs a lot of money to feed and care for an orca in captivity. By offering to release Lolita, they can get good publicity while at the same time getting rid of an animal that is only costing them money and giving them bad press. Regardless of the motivations for this announcement, it is our hope that there is a positive outcome for Lolita, she has been forced to live on her own for a long time in a concrete prison.
Captain Paul Watson wrote a book on orcas in captivity called ORCAPEDIA. If you'd like to know more about this topic, this is a great resource.

E3: Whale Slaughter in Norway, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands Oct 13, 2022

In this episode of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation Podcast, I catch up with Paul about the whales that were killed in Norway, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands. Norwegian whalers have kill 580 whales in 2022. Iceland has killed 140 Fin Whales (Balaenoptera physalus) - an endangered species! In one instance a whale killed in Iceland came into the harbor with 4 grenade harpoons stuck in its body. These whales are dying a slow and painful death. Paul also mentioned a recent grind in the Faroe Islands where 260 whales were killed. Captain Watson tells us to avoid Faroese salmon in restaurants, as that is a way for us to put economic pressure on their country. If you plan on traveling to Iceland or know someone who is, please tell them to not eat whale meat while they are there. We need to put pressure on the Icelandic government to not renew their whale hunt quota for 2024.
Iceland's current annual whale hunt quotas allow them to kill up to 209 Fin whales per year and up to 217 Minke whales per year. We need this to end before it is too late.

We had a few technical difficulties with this first episode, but we are working on it. We will be catching Captain Watson as he travels around the globe. Some phone calls, especially during campaign season might be a tad spotty. We apologize in advance.
