"In all of these campaigns, the crew are under the understanding that there are inherent dangers. That we're not just saying we're coming down here to risk our lives to protect the whales. We actually are risking our lives to protect the whales, and putting our ships in a position to block their operations, means that we're there to block their operations. Now there's no point in saying you're going to Stand Fast if you move out of the way at the last moment. If you're going to say you're going to Stand Fast then you Stand Fast."

~ Captain Paul Watson, Operation Relentless, Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.
