Sea Shepherd is a Non profit Governmental Organisation (NGO) which is a marine conservation organisation. They aim to conserve marine wildlife from being killed such as Whales, Dolphins and sea turtles. They use direct action tactics to protect marine life. The organization was founded in 1977 by Paul Watson, a co-founder of Greenpeace.
Captain Watson gets $96,000, the other ones do not get paid.
Main reason is because of their general mission which is that Sea Shepherd's mission is to end the destruction of habitat and the slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species. The founder Paul Watson was co founder of greenpeace so before sea shepherd, he wanted to protect whales due to their high intellect but lack of defence against humanity, so whales have always been part of sea shepherd's mission. Sea Shepherd is pretty much only organisation that nowadays will directly get involved in saving whales by physically preventing the whalers to hunt whales.
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society was created in 1977.
The Sea Shepherd's aim is to stop illegal marine hunting in our seas and oceans.

Australia is opposed to whale hunting in international waters but the sea shepherd is an international intitution formally incorporated in the United States in 1981 in the state of Oregon. The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is a non-profit marine conservation organization based in Friday Harbor, Washington in the United States that uses direct action sabotage tactics. The society was founded in 1977 under the name Earth Force Society, by Paul Watson, an early member of Greenpeace, after a dispute with that organization over its lack of more aggressive intervention. No government supports anybody attacking other persons with acid but Australia will iventisgate the latest colition sea sheperd had with a Japanese whaling ship.
