- Captain Peter Hammarstedt takes you along on the longest maritime pursuit in history, as the world's most notorious fish poacher is brought to justice; and we confront our own problematic relationship with the ocean.
Peter Hammarstedt is the Director of Campaigns for Sea Shepherd Global and is Chairman of Sea Shepherd Australia. He is captain of the ocean-going vessel Bob Barker, having spent two decades at-sea including 10 years in Antarctica. In 2014/15, the Bob Barker, with Peter as captain, set the world record for the longest pursuit of a poaching vessel at sea after chasing the Interpol-wanted fishing vessel Thunder for 110 days, covering three oceans and 11,000 nautical miles, before its captain intentionally sank his own vessel in a bid to destroy evidence. Since then, Peter, has provided civilian offshore patrol vessels (COPVs), under so-called 'ship rider' agreements, to many African coastal countries in order to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. On-going partnerships between Sea Shepherd and the law enforcement agents of African coastal and island States have resulted in the arrest of over 70 vessels for illegal fishing and other fisheries crimes over the past five years. The COPVs have served as critical platforms for capacity-building of law enforcement agencies in increasing monitoring, control and surveillance capabilities in the maritime domain. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
In tears. What an incredible ted talk x
Peter Hammarstedt is an absolute inspiration and Sea Shepherd is blessed to have him....
He destroyed sea shepherd
Yes look it up he is backstabbing Paul Watson the founder. 0 respect for Peter. He rode on Captain Paul Watson’s coat tails then stabbed him in the back with no explanation 🤬👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
In late 2022 a schism occurred after Paul Watson was removed from the board of directors of Sea Shepherd Global, a move which, he says, was due to the organization shifting away from his policy of independent, direct action to one of collaboration with governments. Watson subsequently formed his own organization, the Captain Paul Watson Foundation, and a competing Sea Shepherd group called Sea Shepherd Origins. The France, UK, and Brazil chapters of Sea Shepherd have pledged their allegiance to Paul Watson and Sea Shepherd Origins, and have left the umbrella of Sea Shepherd Global. Neither Sea Shepherd Global or the regional chapters that remain loyal to it have issued statements in regard to these events.
Just became a monthly subscriber to Sea Shepherd uk after watching this video, thankyou for opening my eyes.
Thank you!!!
Stop soporting them soport Paul instead
Its sad to see how this guy ended up... participating in the hostile takeover of Sea Shepherd and supporting a new leader who has an interest in the captivity of Dolphins.
Capt. Peter Hammarstedt spoke so eloquently on a TEDx Talk. 100% living LEGEND!
As global citizens we WILL make a difference "every time that you sit down for a meal."
Also, watch "Seaspiracy", "Eating Our Way to Extinction"
Well done Peter, keep up the good fight.
This one of the main reasons I have chosen to live vegan! So good! 💪🏾🌱
And let's urge everyone to watch "Seaspiracy"!
How many bugs are killed by pesticides to grow your vegan food? Millions. Do they not matter like the whales?
Such an inspirational video. Keep on the great fight. I am going to show this video to my family and try to convince them to stop eating tuna and other fish products
Take a look at a documentary called Dominion here on youtube. You will be surprised with what you will see
I thank you so much, Peter! I wish I will be younger and healthy (I sit in a wheelchair) then I will stand at your side…..in the next minute!

Im joining!
Amazing ted talk, thank you
thanks to captain Paul Watson ... Nerver forget it it
Thank you!
This should have more views
Great talk, Peter!
drives it all home Peter. People have no respect for other life. they think its all theirs for the taking.
Awesome!
They where great until they kicked Paul out
So incredible. What an absolute inspiration ❤
He’s not an inspiration. He’s leading the hostile takeover of Sea Shepherd, from his original captain, Paul Watson. He’s a mutinous betrayer. If he’s claiming to be a pirate, pirates killed mutineers.
For the oceans 🏴☠️
Always
Save the Whales? I can't even have chickens where I live where am I going to keep a collection of Whales
Does anyone know how to get an invitation to ted talk?
Lol Direct actions he said and then ..... A traitor
Doubt this man saved any whales.
We saw him growing for years in the whales war ! He became a great man
Peter you disrespected Paul Watson, without him you are nobody. I wish you to live what you did to him.
Thank you captain PAUL WATSON for his legacy. Backstabbing mentors seems like whaling to me. Let's see what the court says.
🐳🐟
and there are still people who think the Sea Shepherd are terrorists. Shake my head
Is this terrorist still around? I’ve seen the show; I’m surprised he was able to locate the stage.
Why are Sea Shepherd Donations paying for Lawsuits against Captain Paul Watson in 2024..
this man is a losor
YOU KILLED THUNDER.....STOP YOUR MADNESS IMMEDIATELY
At first, you were part of something strong led by an example who you later betray. Congrats. You do not deserve any respect. Paul Watson and Lamya Essemlali all along.
You should all be charged for piracy and eco terrorism.
Ha what a joke. Governments should be charged for not enforcing the laws. Go defenders of the earth 🌍 💪👍
traitor
we love to eat whale
Full of heavy metals and pesticides. Bon Appetite 🖕
We love to eat your mom. 😋 Yummy
All Sea Sheperds ROCK!!!
Not all. Some are traitors like this one
