In today's episode of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation Podcast we will be speaking with Captain Watson and Lamya Essemlali. Paul and Lamya will give us insight into Operation Ocean Killers, a joint campaign between the Captain Paul Watson Foundation and Sea Shepherd France against the Super Trawlers that are wiping out large schools of fish. The Super Trawlers are enormous vessels that target Mackerel, Herring, and Blue Whiting. These fish are important food sources for larger marine creatures like dolphins. Because the Super Trawlers are so efficient at wiping out fish populations, dolphins have been forced to move closer to shore in search of food. In some instances, dolphins have washed up dead on shore due to starvation. The Super Trawlers also directly kill marine animals by trapping them in their huge nets. This "bycatch" is largely unmonitored allowing the Super Trawlers to do as they please out at sea. It is the goal of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation and Sea Shepherd France to bring attention to these Super Trawlers so that they can be stopped from causing further ecological damage to our planet.
