Capt. Paul Watson setting sail on a new mission to protect marine life

Legendary activist Captain Paul Watson known for taking on the whaling industry. The 72 year old is now setting sail on a new mission to protect marine life. News. 12 New Jersey's Roxanne Evans reports from New York Harbor. Our objective is to block them, intervene to stop them from killing those whales. An eco warrior captain Paul Watson is back in action with a new ship and a new crew. Watson, an environmentalist is known for taking on the world's whalers. We don't have any choice, you know, if the ocean dies, we all die. And so it's really if we're going to have a future, we have to protect life in the ocean. There's been an international moratorium on whale fishing for the last several years, but it really hasn't done very much to stop it. That's where Captain Paul Watson and his crew come in in just a few days. They will take this ship out onto the high seas and head to the North Atlantic on a mission. But here we go, entrepreneur and philanthropist John Paul DeJoria donated the ship. I said, Paul buddy, we've got to survive this mission. I got involved because of you, period. What shall we do when he was talking about starting the Captain Paul Watson Foundation? I said, Paul, you need a ship. Let's get it going. I'm going to buy it for you. The man who built Paul Mitchell systems and Petron Tequila has supported Watson's efforts to save marine life since the nineties, you kill off one species and you end up killing them all over a period of time. So everyone that's invited and let's take care of the environment. Well, how about our oceans? We're 70% oceans and if we kill those creatures, everything is going to die, the planet's going to die for the next 100 days. Captain Watson and his crew of volunteers will call the ocean home and do what they can to save everything in it. Roxanne Evans News 12.
