, 1979, Paul Watson and his crew were on his ship, which is called the SeaShepherd. Watson and the people who work on the Sea Shepherd were hunting on the AtlanticOcean near Portugal. However, they had a strange prey; instead of hunting for animals, their preywas a ship, the Sierra. The Sea Shepherd found the Sierra, ran into it and sank it. As a result, theSierra never returned to the sea. The Sea Shepherd, on the other hand, returned to its home inCanada. Paul Watson and his workers thought that they had been successful.The Sierra had been a whaling ship, which had operated illegally. The captain and the crewof the Sierra did not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling. Instead, they killed asmany whales as they could, quickly cut off the meat, and froze it. Later, they sold the whale meat incountries where it is eaten.Paul Watson tried to persuade the international whaling commission to stop the Sierra.However, the commission did very little, and Paul became impatient. He decided to stop the Sierraand other whaling ships in any way that he could. He offered to pay $25,000 to anyone who sankany illegal whaling ship, and he sank the Sierra. He acted because he believes that the whales mustbe protected. Still, he acted without the approval of the government; therefore, his actions werecontroversial.Paul Watson is not the only environmental activist. Other men and women are also fightingto protect the Earth. Like Watson, they do not always have the approval of their governments, andlike Watson, they have become impatient. Yet, because of their concern for the environment, theywill act to protect it.
