Founded by Captain Paul Watson (formerly affiliated to Greenpeace), Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) was formally incorporated in 1981 in the state of Oregon, USA, although the idea for the organisation was formed in 1977 in Vancouver BC, Canada. The original mandate was marine mammal protection and conservation with an immediate goal of shutting down illegal whaling and sealing operations, but Sea Shepherd later expanded its mission to include all marine wildlife, with its primary mandate to assume a law enforcement role as provided by the United Nations World Charter for Nature (1982). It also adheres to several other charters and mandates, including the International Whaling Commission, United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, ASEAN Agreement on the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, and the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species, and has been involved in over 200 voyages, covering many of the world's oceans and defending and saving marine life (source: http://www.seashepherd.org/uk/uk.html)
