“Protecting biodiversity in our ocean, I think, is the single most important thing we should be addressing.”

On April 4, 2014 Bill Maher had a special guest at his show — WATCH HERE—- Namely Toronto native, environmental, activist and Captain Paul Franklin Watson. Normally Watson is on the front lines of the battle to conserve and protect marine ecosystems for wildlife. Watson and his Sea Shepherd Conservation Society have been doing it for nearly 40 years. Watson was an early and influential member of Greenpeace, crewed and skippered for it, and later was a board member. Watson argued for a strategy of direct action that conflicted with the Greenpeace interpretation of nonviolence, was ousted from the board in 1977, and subsequently left the organisation (wiki)That same year, Watson founded the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. The group is the subject of the weekly American documentary-style reality television series called Whale Wars (6th season) by Animal Planet.
