 | | Watson, a seaman by trade, having spent his life working for both the Norwegian and Swedish Merchant Marines, was born in Toronto, Ontario, and raised in New Brunswick. |
 | | Divorced and the father of one daughter, Watson is also a founding member of Greenpeace in 1970; he went on to found his own organization in 1977, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, because the former wasn't sufficiently "non-violently aggressive" for his tastes: Unlike Greenpeace, Watson says he didn't just jump onto whaling ships for publicity. |
 | | Watson believes, and perhaps rightly so, that we are the last generation in a position to save the planet, and although his actions may seem extreme by some, they are, in the end, desperate measures to prevent irreparable crimes. |
