"When it comes to ecology, we are all totally overwhelmed by the multiplication of problems and the scale of the issues . If we want to act, we are forced to choose a battle. The sea represents 70% of the earth's surface and, for the moment, Sea Shepherd is the only association with ships to take concrete action on the ground . So I chose this environment because it is a major issue and there is enormous room for improvement. For me, it was a strategic choice, not an ideological one."
