Explorez la vie de cet homme à travers 4 épisodes passionnants.  L'ennemi public des braconniers  Paul Watson, fondateur de Sea Shepherd, consacre sa vie à protéger les océans et ses espèces menacées. Enfant déjà, il s'insurgeait contre la violence faite aux animaux, une révolte née d'un choc durant une partie de pêche avec son père. Ancien de Greenpeace, il crée sa propre ONG en 1977 pour agir concrètement contre le braconnage maritime. Sabotages de baleiniers, mandats d'arrêt internationaux, exils : rien n'a jamais entamé sa détermination. En 2024, après six mois de détention, il retrouve enfin la liberté… et continue son combat.

En 1976, Greenpeace décide d'alerter l'opinion publique avec une opération choc initiée par Paul Watson. Mais face à la colère des pêcheurs locaux, l'action vire au fiasco, provoquant une fracture au sein de l'ONG. Paul est exclu, Bob Hunter se retire, et Greenpeace vacille. De cette rupture naîtra pourtant un nouveau chapitre radical de l'activisme écologique.

Treize militants de Greenpeace, menés par Bob Hunter et Paul Watson, s'élancent dans le Pacifique Nord pour défendre les baleines, cibles d'une chasse industrielle sanglante. À bord de zodiacs, ils s'interposent physiquement entre les cétacés et les harpons soviétiques, offrant aux caméras des images spectaculaires. L'une d'elles, montrant Watson mesurant le cadavre d'un baleineau, marquera les esprits.

In dieser Episode des Plantbased Podcasts spricht Yannick mit Sarah Connor und Janek Andre über die Iberian Orca Guardians Stiftung, die sich dem Schutz der iberischen Orcas in der Straße von Gibraltar, Portugal, Spanien und Umgebung widmet. Sie diskutieren die Herausforderungen, die sie bei der Arbeit mit der Segler-Community und den politischen Rahmenbedingungen erleben, sowie die Bedeutung von Bildung und Prävention, um die Interaktionen zwischen Menschen und Orcas zu minimieren. Wir beleuchten auch die Notwendigkeit, das Bewusstsein für den Schutz dieser gefährdeten Tierart zu schärfen. Auch die Zusammenarbeit mit Organisationen wie Sea Shepherd und der Biologin und Forscherin Dr. Ingrid N. Visser sprechen wir. Sarah spricht über ihre Erfahrungen im Loro Parque in Teneriffa und die Tragik der Geburt eines Orca-Babys in Gefangenschaft und ob es möglich ist, Orcas wieder auszuwildern. Auch über ihre Begegnung mit Orca-Mutter Morgan und ihrem Versprechen an sie spricht sie voller Emotionen. Zudem wird die Bedeutung von nachhaltigem Whale Watching hervorgehoben, um das Bewusstsein für den Tierschutz zu schärfen. Abschließend wird die Notwendigkeit betont, gemeinsam für den Schutz der Orcas und ihrer Lebensräume zu kämpfen. #emptythetanks Viel Spaß!

En 50 ans, les populations de requins et de raies océaniques ont décliné de 70 %. À ce rythme, la plupart des espèces pourraient s'éteindre d'ici 10 à 20 ans.Selon les chercheurs, la population mondiale du Requin longimane par exemple, une espèce commune dans les années 1970, a décliné de 98 % au cours des 60 dernières années.Ces grands prédateurs jouent un rôle essentiel dans la chaîne alimentaire, en régulant notamment les populations des “mésoprédateurs”, précisément les concurrents des pêcheurs …Dans ce premier épisode, nous détaillons les menaces qui pèsent sur les élasmobranches (requins et raies).Nous recevons Matthieu Lapinski, le président de l'association Ailerons, créée en mai 2006 à Montpellier (Hérault, France). Ailerons a pour but d'étudier, de protéger et de sensibiliser sur les requins et les raies en Méditerranée. Des scientifiques et d'autres volontaires rencontrent les usagers de la mer (pêcheurs, plaisanciers, chasseurs sous-marins…) pour expliquer, et inciter, en toute bienveillance à protéger les derniers seigneurs des océans._______

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: ✨ Bobby Fischer thought The Reykjavík Grapevine was funded by the CIA. Or was it USAID? We discuss a recent update on the multiple conspiracy theories about The Reykjavík Grapevine's funding. ✨Iceland just got bigger. Or so to say. The UN Continental Shelf Commission has decided that Iceland holds sovereignty over the continental shelf of the Reykjanes Ridge. We "celebrate" this as far as we understand what it means. Mostly we just fear that this will make Trump notice us, something we're happy not to happen.✨A tourist was rescued Thursday by SARS after being lost for five days. The tourist had walked, alone, without any equipment or food to a remote uninhabited fjord in East Iceland and survived by eating grass and old berries. Again we ask: Why?✨ Paul Watson of Sea Shepherd fame was quoted in Japan Today as saying "Our ongoing campaign is to stop illegal whaling activities this summer. We will be intervening against Icelandic whaling. That'll start in June". We discuss Mr. Watson's previous adventures in Iceland, some dating back to 1986.✨ Icelandic Minister of Educations talks shit about our justice system after having lost a court case. We discuss both how this is not cool, yet far from unusual.✨ A man was murdered on Tuesday. At least 6 people have been arrested, some of them detained. Details are sparse. We discuss this tragedy.✨ Those still interested in the Reykjanes Eruptions are waiting for the next eruption to start. We aren't really waiting, but thought we'd mention it.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://steadyhq.com/en/rvkgrapevine/You can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store: https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter.

Code mit Impact und Meeresschutz digital: Der Einsatz von Software bei Sea Shepherd DeutschlandIn dieser Episode tauchen wir in die Welt des Meeresschutzes ein. Florian Stadler, seit 15 Jahren aktiv und Kampagnenleiter bei Sea Shepherd Deutschland, gibt uns Einblicke, wie Software beim Meeresschutz angewandt wird, um verlorene Fischernetze (sogenannte Geisternetze) aufzuspüren und zu bergen.Wir sprechen darüber, wie mithilfe Sonar-Scans und manueller Interpretation und (teils öffentlicher) Datenbanken der Meeresboden in der Ostsee systematisch untersucht wird, um illegale Fangmethoden und Umweltschäden aufzudecken. Dabei beleuchten wir auch Herausforderungen wie Schiffs-Ortungen, Bereiche von Cyber Security, wie z. B. AIS-Spoofing, den Datenaustausch mit anderen Organisationen, Infrastruktur auf einem Schiff von Sea Shepherd, wie Software-Entwickler*innen beim Meeresschutz helfen können und den oft überraschenden Einsatz von pragmatischen Lösungen wie händisch gepflegte Excel-Listen, selbst erstellten Google Maps-Layern oder Bildmaterial von öffentlich zugänglichen Webcams. Die Grenzen zwischen Hightech und altbewährter Technik mit pragmatischen Ansätzen verschwimmen hier ganz wunderbar.Bonus: Excel vs. Hightech – Wie kann man mit simplen Tools und digitaler Navigation ganze Meeresgebiete effizient kartieren?Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

Paul Watson, fondateur de Sea Shepherd, s'est rendu à Nice vendredi 28 février et samedi 1er mars. À cette occasion, il a pu découvrir le carnaval de Nice, visiter le port et la nouvelle aire marine protégée que la ville veut créer. Au micro de RTL, il a adressé un témoignage exclusif.

The vaquita porpoise (Phocoena sinus) is the rarest marine mammal, with fewer than 10 individuals remaining in the wild. Found only in Mexico's Gulf of California, this elusive species is critically endangered due to illegal gillnet fishing for totoaba, a fish highly valued in Chinese markets.  

L'émission 28 minutes du 04/02/2025 Paul Watson, libéré et prêt à reprendre le combat en haute merPlus d'un mois après sa libération de prison au Groenland, dans laquelle il était enfermé depuis juillet 2024, Paul Watson a reçu la citoyenneté d'honneur de la ville de Paris. Il a également sollicité la nationalité française. Le 21 juillet dernier, le fondateur de Sea Shepherd avait été arrêté, lors d'une escale de son bateau dans un port groenlandais, en vertu d'un mandat d'arrêt international émis à son encontre, à la demande du Japon. Paul Watson mène des actions de défense contre les navires pratiquant la chasse à la baleine, activité interdite dans la quasi-totalité des pays du monde, excepté au Japon. Tokyo l'accuse d'être responsable de "dommages et blessures" lors d'une opération de Sea Shepherd en 2010 et avait demandé son extradition depuis la prison de Nuuk. Il a finalement été libéré après 149 jours de détention. Le militant écologiste de 74 ans et la présidente de Sea Shepherd France, Lamya Essemlali, partagent leurs combats à venir sur le plateau de 28'.L'Allemagne peut-elle basculer dans le camp de l'extrême droite ?Dimanche 2 février, plus de 160 000 Allemands selon les chiffres de la police, et 250 000 d'après les organisateurs, se sont réunis à Berlin pour protester contre l'alliance de circonstance nouée entre le parti de droite CDU (Chrétiens-Démocrates) et le parti d'extrême droite AfD (Alternative für Deutschland). Le président de la CDU Friedrich Merz a fait voter au Bundestag, mercredi 29 janvier, une motion non contraignante sur l'immigration en s'appuyant sur les voix du parti d'Alice Weidel (AfD). Cette motion prévoit des contrôles permanents aux frontières, ainsi que le blocage des étrangers en situation irrégulière, y compris les demandeurs d'asile. Une proposition de loi sur l'immigration a ensuite été débattue vendredi 31 janvier, mais Friedrich Merz a, cette fois-ci, essuyé un revers. À moins de trois semaines des législatives, l'écart sur les intentions de vote se resserre entre les deux partis, avec 30 % pour le parti de centre-droit en tête des sondages, contre 20 à 22 % pour le parti d'extrême droite. Friedrich Merz s'est attiré les foudres de la gauche mais aussi d'une partie de son camp, à commencer par la figure tutélaire des conservateurs, l'ex-chancelière Angela Merkel. Mais c'est surtout la société allemande qui a fait entendre sa colère tout le week-end, dans plusieurs grandes villes du pays, pour dénoncer un “pacte avec le diable”. Enfin, Xavier Mauduit retrace l'histoire de la “Bonne Mère”, la basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde, dont le chantier de rénovation s'est ouvert lundi 3 janvier à Marseille. Marie Bonnisseau nous raconte comment des Américains résistent à Donald Trump grâce à un manuel de sabotage écrit en 1944 par l'ancêtre de la CIA.28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le vendredi et le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio.

“My mandate focuses on the protection of those trying to protect the planet. Protection of defenders is my main topic.

Send us a textIn mid-December 2024, Denmark released Captain Paul Watson (co-founder of Greenpeace, and founder of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society) after five months of captivity in an apartment-like incarceration setting in Greenland, when Denmark ultimately declined to extradite him to Japan for a matter about which Captain Watson asserts his innocence. Fairfax, Virginia criminal defense and DUI lawyer Jonathan Katz three weeks after Captain Watson's release had the privilege to spend an hour with him on our Beat the Prosecution podcast, covering such topics as risking detention and prosecution for what we deeply believe in; the international law limiting whaling and sealing; preparing for and winning at trial (he has never been convicted); and his uncanny ability to be non-angry. Remarkable is Paul's confirmation that he does not get angry, other than when he expresses it with his pen. Non-anger is very vital to beating the prosecution. Paul has been prosecuted numerous times, but all his trials have resulted in acquittals. Listen to how that resulted. Paul Watson and Jon Katz both eat vegan (with Paul motivated heavily by ecological reasons, and Jon being primarily motivated by nonviolence), and know members of the American Indian Movement (with Paul having been a medic during the Wounded Knee action, and Jon peripherally meeting AIM members through his peace teacher Jun Yasuda, a close friend and supporter of the late Dennis Banks). Jon recommends reading Paul's autobiography Hitman for the Kindness Club, and listening to his podcast entitled Captain Paul Watson Foundation. More about Paul and his foundation's work is at PaulWatsonFoundation.org. Watson is one of the films about him. Donations to his foundation can be made here. One of Paul's previous organization's ships was named the Steve Irwin, who supported Paul's approach for animals.

Whale Wars Star and founder of Sea Shepherd, Captain Paul Watson, has been imprisoned since July in Greenland! The anti-whaling hero has applied for political asylum in France as he fights off attempts by Japan to get him extradited to that nation where he could end up behind bars for 15 years. Activists around the world are demanding that Watson be released immediately with protests from Los Angeles to France outside Danish government offices. Watson was first arrested back in July when his ship docked in Greenland, which is park of the kingdom of Denmark. Danish authorities are still deciding whether to extradite him. Japan is one of the few nations that still engages in whaling. Environmentalists and animal lovers across the globe are outraged that any government would side with whalers at a time when our seas and the animals in them are in crisis.

L'été commence et, comme chaque année, je voudrais profiter du mois d'août pour rediffuser des épisodes passés, qui sont particulièrement chers à mon coeur et que vous pourriez avoir loupé. L'actualité du moment m'amène à vous proposer l'épisode enregistré avec Captain Watson, fondateur de Sea Shepard et de la Paul Watson Foundation. ⏩ Parce que cet homme est un héro. ⏩ Parce que cette discussion est une leçon pour nous tous. ⏩ Et surtout parce que Paul Watson a été arrêté le 21 juillet dernier au Groenland et est menacé d'extradition au Japon. Il faut savoir que depuis 1986, un moratoire a été promulgué par la Commission baleinière internationale qui était inquiète de la disparition de l'espèce, et interdit la pêche commerciale des baleines. Avec l'Islande et la Norvège, le Japon fait partie des trois derniers pays à continuer cette activité... Si Paul Watson devait être extradé, le Japon le garderait en prison à vie ! Alors, aujourd'hui, j'ai quelque chose à vous demander : faites passer cet épisode autour de vous et faites raisonner la voix magistrale de Captain Watson !"I don't like protesting, I want to intervene."Captain Watson, co-fondateur de Greenpeace et fondateur de Sea Shepherd Conservation SocietyCette semaine, j'ai l'honneur de recevoir l'immense CAPITAINE PAUL WATSON !

SBS's Rayane Tamer spoke to Bob Brown about Mr Watson's arrest and his appeal to the Danish Queen

Despite advocating for conservation and animal rights causes, Watson faced backlash and legal repercussions for his aggressive tactics. His involvement in organizations like Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd led to confrontations with authorities, particularly in Japan, where he interfered with whaling activities. Watson's approach to activism, which involved direct action and sometimes confrontational methods, garnered both support and criticism. While he achieved some success in raising awareness and initiating change, his actions also alienated certain groups and countries. This polarization highlights the potential consequences of activism, where individuals may face legal challenges, arrest, or even extradition for their advocacy efforts. The episode also touched upon the complexities of Watson's character, noting instances where he made controversial statements, such as criticizing indigenous practices related to hunting. These remarks further fueled the divide in public opinion about his methods and beliefs. Despite his dedication to conservation causes, Watson's confrontational approach and contentious statements have led to a mixed reception among supporters and detractors. Overall, the case of Captain Paul Watson serves as a reminder that activism, while crucial for driving change, can come with repercussions. Individuals advocating for causes they believe in may encounter resistance, legal challenges, and public scrutiny. The episode underscores the importance of considering the potential consequences of activism and the need to navigate these challenges while staying true to one's values and goals. Captain Paul Watson's aggressive conservation methods have indeed polarized opinions within the marine conservation community and the general public. On one hand, many people praise his unwavering dedication to protecting the ocean and marine life. Watson's founding of both Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd, two prominent conservation organizations, has led to significant changes in marine conservation efforts globally. These organizations have employed marine conservationists, activists, and policy makers, and have successfully advocated for marine protection and policy changes. However, on the other hand, Watson's approach, which often involves confrontational and aggressive tactics, has drawn criticism from many quarters. His use of violence and direct action, such as ramming boats and disrupting whaling activities, has been controversial and has led to legal issues and conflicts with authorities. Additionally, Watson has made controversial statements, including criticizing indigenous communities for their involvement in activities like selling hunting quotas to wealthy hunters. The episode highlights how Watson's actions and statements have led to a mixed reception among conservationists and the public. While some view him as a hero for his relentless efforts to protect marine life, others condemn his methods and rhetoric. The episode also discusses the recent ousting of Watson from Sea Shepherd due to disagreements over the organization's direction, indicating internal conflicts within the conservation community regarding his approach. Overall, Captain Paul Watson's legacy is a complex one, with supporters lauding his commitment to marine conservation and detractors questioning the effectiveness and ethics of his aggressive tactics and controversial statements. The episode underscores the ongoing debate surrounding Watson's conservation methods and the diverse opinions within the conservation community regarding his contributions to ocean protection. The arrest of Captain Paul Watson outside Greenland or Iceland has sparked a debate on the balance between activism, ethics, and the potential consequences of one's actions in the conservation field. Captain Watson, a prominent figure in marine conservation, has a long history of aggressive activism through organizations like Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd. His methods, including confrontational tactics and direct action, have garnered both support and criticism. Captain Watson's arrest brings to light the question of whether the ends justify the means in conservation activism. While he has been successful in raising awareness and effecting change in some instances, his approach has also alienated and angered many, including governments and indigenous communities. The episode highlights how his actions, while driven by a passion for protecting the ocean, have led to legal troubles and strained relationships with various stakeholders. The episode delves into the complexities of activism and the ethical considerations that come into play. Captain Watson's confrontational tactics, such as disrupting whaling operations and targeting illegal fishing vessels, have been effective in some cases but have also raised ethical concerns. His controversial statements and actions have polarized opinions within the conservation community, with some viewing him as a hero and others as a problematic figure. The arrest of Captain Paul Watson serves as a reminder of the potential consequences of activism and the importance of considering the ethical implications of one's actions. It prompts reflection on the balance between passion for conservation and the methods used to achieve conservation goals. The episode encourages listeners to engage in a dialogue about the complexities of activism, ethics, and the impact of one's actions in the conservation field.

On Sunday, July 21, Ocean Activist and Sea Shepherd Society founder Paul Watson was arrested in Greenland, a territory of Denmark, on an Interpol warrant issued by Japan. Japan claims he damaged one of their commercial whaling ships while protesting and helping to end Japanese whaling off Antarctica. France, where Watson now lives, has asked Denmark not to extradite him. We're replaying our October 2022 interview with Watson so you can better understand his perspective on fighting for whales, against pirate fishing, and for the health of the Ocean. In this episode, we talked to Captain Paul Watson, founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, about his background fighting for beavers, seals, and whales and the breakup with Sea Shepherd over its purpose and direction. We also discussed the Paul Watson Foundation, his biocentric religion, phytoplankton, and the planet, and how his time at the siege of Wounded Knee taught him not to fear for the future. If, after hearing from Paul, you'd like to also protest to the Danish Embassy or reach out to one of your members of Congress to add pressure on Denmark not to support Japan's political persecution of him, you can find out how in our program notes.

Charles and Jon talk to Dr Barbara Taylor (USA) and Dr Lorenzo Rojas-Bracho (Mexico), who together lead the global efforts to save the Vaquita from extinction. The Vaquita, a tiny and beautiful porpoise, is found only at the top of the Gulf of California and holds the unfortunate distinction of being the world's rarest marine mammal (possibly the rarest of any mammal species). There may be as few as 6 animals left alive.The story of the Vaquita's precipitous decline from its discovery in 1958 is as tragic as it is complex. In a fascinating conversation we learn about the Vaquita's biology and how gillnetting has driven the species to the very edge of extinction. We also discuss why illegal fishing - fueled by organized crime and a demand in East Asia for the swim bladder of the Totoaba fish - is so difficult to prevent. But Barb and Lorenzo offer some optimism for the future: there may be more Vaquitas hiding in the Gulf of California and it is not to late to save the species.For more information visit www.mammalwatching.com/podcastNotes: There is a lot more information online. Viva Vaquita is a coalition of scientists, educators and conservationists who strive to increase attention on the Vaquita. They host an International Vaquita Day every year to update folks on the latest situation.There are several documentaries about the Vaquita story including Sea of Shadows which you can find here https://www.vaquitacpr.org The IUCN's Cetacean Specialist Group website has all recent Vaquita survey reports (with 2024 coming soon) as well as reports from the recovery team (CIRVA).If you would like to help save the Vaquita you can donate money to - or volunteer to join - Sea Shepherd the conservation society who are doing very important work in the Gulf of Mexico to help tackle the illegal fishing that is killing the species.If you want to check whether the seafood you eat is sustainable then you can visit Seafood Watch even if they do not as yet carry information about the fisheries that most impact the Vaquita.Jon's report on joining the 2024 Vaquita Survey with Barb and Lorenzo is here.Finally here is the Guardian article on the 6 million antelope migration in South Sudan that Charles mentions at the start.Cover art: Barb, Lorenzo and a model Vaquita with Consag Rock in the background.Dr Charles Foley is a mammalwatcher and biologist who, together with his wife Lara, spent 30 years studying elephants in Tanzania.
