The link below is very interesting reading.
I want to dispell any reservations that some may have regarding the SSCS. Commercial fishing interests have for years tried to brand the SSCS as an 'eco-terorist' organization. Their record speaks for itself, no one has ever been injured in any of their campaigns.
They were instrumental in removing the drift gillnets from the pacific. A few years later, the albacore returend to the west coast after almost a decade of absense.
They went to the Farroe Islands to protest the slaughter of porpoise and pilot whales, a wicked festival called the 'grind.'
One of their ships has been commissioned by the government of Ecuador to protect the Galapagos Islands.
The list goes on and on...
