Sea Shepherd

Four decades of direct-action marine conservation — from Paul Watson splitting with Greenpeace to found the fleet in 1977, through the Antarctic whaling wars, the Faroese grind, the fight for the vaquita, and the patrols that police the high seas where no navy will.

A chronological documentary of 924 moments on Loreline.
