The Skipper of the Bob Barker Captain Paul Watson will be speaking at the Surfcoast Sport & Recreation Centre, Surf City Plaza, Torquay. 7pm - 9pm. on the 20th November

" Come hear the president and founder of Sea Shepherd, Captain Paul Watson talk about the plan of the Japanese whaling fleet to kill 50 endangered humpbacks, along with 50 fin and nearly 1000 piked whales... and our plan to stop them. Sea Shepherd enforces international conservation law out on the high seas as the whales' navy.

Tickets will be available on the night for $10, or $20 for a family. If you have any queries please contact [email protected], or phone 0423 722 609. "


Well worth getting along to hear what he has to say and a great cause....

..... The Bob Barker will also be docked this weekend at Victoria Harbour, Docklands Berth VH03 9&10, Melbourne, 10am - 5pm with free public tours no need to ring ahead just turn up.

Whilst you may not approve of his tactics ( I agree some are questionable ..... Particularly boat ramming ) there is no denying the sea shepherd have done more than any other organisation on promoting the cause ...... From the Dolphin slaughters in Tanjil Japan and the Furore islands to the wales in the arctic. When they make international news they are bringing peoples attention to the cause.

Dusta is right.

I don't want to see whaling by any stretch but Watson is a self-serving meglamaniac. He has chosen the environmental poster child of whaling to achieve fame/infamy and fortune for himself - rather than contribute meaningfully to anything that will actually save the earth/sea.

Instead of educating the unwashed, he preaches to the converted and convinces those indifferant that it is loonies that believe in saving the earth/sea.

Howsabout tackling long line/bottom trawling and over fishing or many greater ills Sea Shonkster?
