Captain Paul Watson Foundation 🐋🏴‍☠️

THE OCEAN DIES, WE DIE

Ships are expendable. Whales are not. The Bandero may be detained, but our mission remains unchanged.

Our Icelandic lawyer has responded to every request, and our ship manager has provided the requested information. As Cap Paul said: “They need to keep it, sink it or leave it. But they need to make up their mind.” That mission has not changed.** #Operation86

The Baradero is patrolling Icelandic waters where Kristján Loftsson’s whaling fleet is hunting. We're offering 250,000 ISK for real-time coordinates that help us intercept Loftsson’s whaling ships. Help end commercial whaling in Iceland. #Operation86

The Icelandic Coast Guard made contact with the Bandero. But the mission hasn't changed. The Bandero will not be deterred. The action is only just beginning. This is Operation 86.

Rod Coronado has a message for Kristjan Loftsson: Return to port. Now. In 1986, he helped sink half of Loftsson's whaling fleet, saving thousands of fin whales. Forty years later, Operation 86 is back. The Bandero is closing in. This is your only warning.

Captain Paul Watson recently visited the crew aboard the Bandero as they completed final preparations for Operation 86. The vessel is now en route to Iceland to confront Kristján Loftsson’s whaling operations. Operation 86 is underway

ICELAND: WHERE THE HUNT MUST END. Operation 86 is heading to Iceland to monitor, document, and oppose the hunt. The ocean does not defend itself. People do. #Operation86 #StopWhaling #ProtectWhales

Protecting the ocean is not about politics. It’s about defending the life support system of our planet. 🌊💙 #CaptainPaulWatson

Plastic pollution, overfishing, whaling and industrial exploitation are pushing marine ecosystems to the brink. The time for half measures is over. #CaptainPaulWatson

The Antarctic should be a sanctuary for life — not a profit zone for industrial fishing fleets. 🐧🌊 #KrillWars

We cannot claim to care about biodiversity while allowing industrial fleets to exploit the foundation of the Antarctic food chain. #Krill #KrillWars

Penguins, whales and seals evolved around abundant krill. Industrial extraction threatens a balance millions of years in the making. #KrillWars

The Southern Ocean is one of Earth’s greatest carbon sinks. Protecting Antarctica means protecting the climate. 🌎❄️ #KrillWars

Giant factory ships are vacuuming up krill from the Southern Ocean to feed industrial demand for supplements and fish farms. Meanwhile wildlife pays the price. #KrillWars

Antarctica doesn’t belong to corporations. It belongs to the planet. #ProtectAntarctica #KrillWars

Industrial krill trawling in Antarctica is expanding while whale populations are still recovering from commercial whaling. That should concern everyone. 🐋 #KrillWars
