Sea Shepherd

I watched Whale Wars on Animal Planet last year and still think about it a lot. I really like this organization who put their words into action. You can volunteer as part of the crew and work the oceans to stop Japanses whalers. If you didn't see the show, catch it in reruns.

Paul Watson is the captain and head of the organization. He used to work for Greenpeace, but realized that direct action was the better course of action-letter writing only goes so far, and whales were still being slaughtered. He and his crew disrupt the whaling ships so they can't hunt. What other organization encourages you to work with them, instead of just sending money??They are at sea again now trying to stop the hunt. You can follow their progress on their blog. www.seashepherd.org
