Operation Migaloo - 2007/08 - Sea Shepherd Whale Defense

It was an epic voyage and an extremely effective campaign. We accomplished more than we thought we would, engaged in numerous confrontations with the Japanese whalers, and exposed the issue of illegal Japanese whaling to the entire world--especially in Japan where for the first time Japanese whaling was a frequent news topic in the media. Paul Watson Sea Shepherd is on a quest to protect the greatest treasure of the seas -- the great whales. "We are obsessed with stopping the Cetacean Death Star, that viciously cruel killing machine otherwise known as the Nisshin Maru , and her ruthless fleet of hunter/killer boats armed with their explosive deadly blunt harpoons," said Watson. "Because I know that if we kill the whales, the sharks, the seals, and the sea turtles, we will destroy the very foundation of life in the oceans—and in so doing, we will destroy humankind.
