Captain Paul Watson is a marine wildlife conservation and environmental activist. Watson was one of the founding
members and directors of Greenpeace. In 1977, he left Greenpeace and founded the Sea Shepherd Conservation
Society.

A renowned speaker, accomplished author, master mariner, and lifelong environmentalist, Captain Watson has been
awarded many honors for his dedication to the oceans and to the planet.

Among many commendations for his work, he received the Genesis Award for Lifetime Achievement in 1998, was
named as one of the Top 20 Environmental Heroes of the 20th Century by Time Magazine in 2000 and was inducted
into the U.S. Animal Rights Hall of Fame in Washington D.C. in 2002. He was also awarded the Amazon Peace
Prize by the president of Ecuador in 2007. In 2012, Captain Watson became only the second person, after Captain
Jacques Cousteau, to be awarded the Jules Verne Award, dedicated to environmentalists and adventurers.

In 2022 a hostile takeover at Sea Shepherd USA made most of the branches change their strategy from Paul
Watson’s original mission and turn their backs to their founder. Only Sea Shepherd France, Sea Shepherd Brazil and
former Sea Shepherd UK remained loyal and still work closely with Paul Watson. At the same year, Paul Watson
had also founded Captain Paul Watson Foundation where he runs active campaigns to this day.

In September, 2024, The Perfect World Foundation announced that Captain Paul Watson was to receive The Perfect
World Foundation’s Honorary Conservation Award for 2025. Captain Paul Watson will also be named The
Conservationist of the Year 2025 by The Perfect World Foundation, highlighting his extraordinary contributions to
the global conservation movement.
