Whale Wars Series 4
Fridays from 30th March, 9.00pm
This March Captain Paul Watson and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society return for a fourth adrenaline-fueled season of Whale Wars, waging a life-and-death battle and masterful chess match to find and stop Japanese ships from hunting whales in the name of research. With the whaling quota higher than ever, the pressure is on to declare victory and end whaling once and for all, so the Sea Shepherds return to Antarctica with new surprise tactics, new crew members and a new vessel, Gojira in "Operation No Compromise." Their crusade begins well as the fleet quickly track down two harpoon ships before they are able to kill a single whale. But as the mission continues and the fleet goes in search of their ultimate target, the whaling factory vessel, the Nisshin Maru, the operation takes a turn for the worse. Several gruelling months at sea bring a host of dangerous missions, and sees two boats and their crew treacherously lost at sea, and severe mental and physical exhaustion setting in amongst the team. But will this be the year that Paul see his life's work paid off with the ultimate victory?
