MY Farley Mowat
MY ''Farley Mowat'' (formerly USCGC ''Pea Island'' (WPB-1347)) is a cutter owned and operated by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. She is being used in their direct action campaigns against whaling and against illegal fisheries activities. In January 2015, Sea Shepherd purchased two decommissioned Island Class patrol boat from the United States Coast Guard, capable of a top speed of . They were USCGC ''Block Island'' and USCGC ''Pea Island'', and were renamed and MY ''Farley Mowat'', respectively. The ''Jules Verne'' was later renamed the after Sea shepherd supporter John Paul DeJoria. They were joined by another ex-USCG island class cutter in December 2017, the MV ''Sharpie''. The MY ''Farley Mowat'' is currently serving in the Sea Shepherd's Operation Milagro alongside the MY ''Sam Simon'', MV ''White Holly'' and MV ''Sharpie'' See also * Neptune's Navy, Sea Shepherd fleet * Sea Shepherd Conservation Society operations The Sea Shepherd Conservation Socie ...

Pea Island
Pea Island is an island which is part of the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Because of the shifting nature of the barrier island system of which Pea Island is a part, and the way in which inlet An inlet is a (usually long and narrow) indentation of a shoreline, such as a small arm, bay, sound, fjord, lagoon or marsh, that leads to an enclosed larger body of water such as a lake, estuary, gulf or marginal sea. Overview In marine geogra ...s open and close over time, Pea Island has, at times, been contiguous with the neighboring islands of Bodie Island or Hatteras Island. Pea Island was created when two inlets, the New Inlet in 1738, and Oregon Inlet in 1846, separated it from the neighboring islands. The island was rejoined to Hatteras Island intermittently from 1922 until 1945 as the narrow New Inlet opened and closed with shifting sands. From 1945 to 2011, Pea Island was merely the northern 11 miles or so of Hatteras Island. Hurricane Irene reopened the New Inlet, ...

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society Operations
The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society engages in various demonstrations, campaigns, and tactical operations at sea and elsewhere, including conventional protests and direct actions to protect marine wildlife. Sea Shepherd operations have included interdiction against commercial fishing, shark poaching and finning, seal hunting and whaling. Many of their activities have been called piracy or terrorism by their targets and by the ICRW. Sea Shepherd says that they have taken more than 4,000 volunteers on operations over a period of 30 years. Fishing (1987–present) Anti-driftnet campaigns (1987–present) Sea Shepherd engaged in a multi-year campaign against driftnetting practices, which it calls a way of strip mining the ocean's wildlife. Sea Shepherd's ''Divine Wind'' vessel investigated suspected driftnet fleets and collected ghost nets in 1987 along the coast of southern Alaska. In 1990, Sea Shepherd consulted with a physicist and found a successful way of sinking driftne ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society Ships
The sea, connected as the world ocean or simply the ocean, is the body of water, body of saline water, salty water that covers approximately 71% of the Earth's surface. The word sea is also used to denote List of seas, second-order sections of the sea, such as the Mediterranean Sea, as well as certain large, entirely landlocked, saltwater lakes, such as the Caspian Sea. The sea moderates Earth's climate and has important roles in the water cycle, water, carbon cycle, carbon, and nitrogen cycle, nitrogen cycles. Humans harnessing and studying the sea have been recorded since ancient times, and evidenced well into prehistory, while its modern scientific study is called oceanography. The most abundant solid dissolved in seawater is sodium chloride. The water also contains salt (chemistry), salts of magnesium, calcium, potassium, and Mercury (element), mercury, amongst many other elements, some in minute concentrations. Salinity varies widely, being lower near the surface and the mo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Neptune's Navy
Neptune's Navy is the name that the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society uses to refer to the ships it operates. Most of these vessels are used to disrupt or hinder fishing, whaling or sealing operations that the group considers illegal. Fleet Past The group has historically operated a number of vessels. The ''Ocean Warrior'', later renamed the RV ''Farley Mowat'' was purchased in 1996 but seized by the Canadian government in April 2008. Due to the age of the vessel, the Society has decided not to pursue any avenue of reacquiring it. Paul Watson in fact stated that they had intentionally utilised a vessel that had become too old for Sea Shepherd to keep in action further. In June 2009 Sea Shepherd announced that the trimaran ''Earthrace'', later renamed , would accompany its 2009–10 operations against Japanese whaling in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. Pete Bethune, the operator of the vessel, said that an agreement was reached with Sea Shepherd for the boat to adopt a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
