In their own words

“Notre mission est de lutter contre la destruction de la vie et de l’habitat marin dans son ensemble. Depuis la fondation du mouvement par Paul Watson en 1977, nous utilisons des stratégies novatrices d’action directe pour défendre, conserver et protéger la biodiversité fragile de nos mers, océans, et faire respecter les lois internationales de conservation, trop souvent bafouées.”
