Quote by -Paul Watson
I've won some awards. 'Time' magazine designated me as one of the environmental heroes of the 20th century. Oh, and I've got some honorary citizenships, like from the Conch Republic of the Florida Keys. But the one thing I am proud of is I didn't get the Chevron environmental award. Never did get that one.

Quote by -Paul Watson

Quote by -Paul Watson
The Brer Rabbit ploy has been quite effective for me. When a country is talking about prosecuting me, I demand to be charged and put on trial and offer to pay my own airfare. They know that I'm going to bring a lot of international media with me and put their whaling programme on trial, and they decide it's better to keep quiet and do nothing.
Quote by -Paul Watson
I don't think that any government has a right to subvert the truth or to cover up the truth, and all I see WikiLeaks doing is exposing the truth.
Quote by -Paul Watson

The Polynesians used to have a system where they proclaimed a fishing area as 'taboo.' If any fisherman was caught fishing in a taboo area, they would be killed. The Polynesians understand that the fish had to be given a chance to recover.
Quote by -Paul Watson
People are beginning to realize that we need to live in accordance with the law of ecology, the law of finite resources, and if we don't, we're going to go extinct.
Quote by -Paul Watson
The biggest predator of fish like cod is other fish - and seals keep fish like that in check.
Quote by -Paul Watson
Does Greenpeace think it can stop whaling in Antarctica by publicly eating whale meat and declaring it delicious? What are these people thinking?
Quote by -Paul Watson
Killing a baby seal is about the easiest thing you can do if you're inclined to be sadistic; you certainly can't say there's any sport in it - the animal is totally defenceless.
Quote by -Paul Watson
I have been honoured to serve the whales, dolphins, seals - and all the other creatures on this Earth. Their beauty, intelligence, strength, and spirit have inspired me.
Quote by -Paul Watson
I will not watch a whale die. I've not seen a whale die since I left Greenpeace in 1977.
Quote by -Paul Watson

Quote by -Paul Watson
I have never suffered under any delusion that saving the whales in the Antarctic sanctuary would be easy, but the one thing I am certain of is that I and my passionate crew of international volunteers will never quit defending life in the seas from poachers, no matter what consequences we must endure to do so.
Quote by -Paul Watson
I did not establish the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society as a protest organisation.
Quote by -Paul Watson
Greenpeace is the world's largest feel-good organisation now, and I can say that 'cause I am one of their co-founders.
Quote by -Paul Watson
Actually, I never really look at myself as a real radical activist; I am more the conservative. I mean, the conservatives are trying to conserve; the radicals are destroying the planet.
Quote by -Paul Watson
