Lincoln Shaw’s first-person photographic account
from Sea Shepherd’s Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign

Year before last, Lincoln Shaw spent almost 3 months helping disrupt a Japanese whaling fleet in Antarctica as a volunteer for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS). Working with a courageous team in the Antarctic, sailing the SSCS vessel, Bob Barker, into the path of Japanese whale killing ships and manufacturing processing ship. The Sea Shepherd's Bob Barker mission was to shut down the illegal Japanese whaling fleet and enforce international conservation law with non-violent direct action techniques to stop the killing of whales. The techniques have garnered worldwide media attention to the illegal killing of thousands of whales through the Animal Planet television series Whale Wars.

Lincoln Shaw, crew member and one of the drivers of the 81 day Bob Barker's 2010 encounter, will present his first-person photographic account of the Sea Shepherd's Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign along with photos of his amazing up close encounters with sea lions, elephant seals, albatross, and other Antarctic wildlife.

As a member of the crew on the Bob Barker Lincoln dealt with violent storms in the Southern Ocean, where swells reached as high as 50 feet, sustained winds of 50 - 60mph, confrontations with the Japanese whaling boats, and watching another boat, the Andy Gil, being rammed with men aboard and sunk. Surrounded by frozen beauty, Shaw took photographs throughout this journey, and will tell his story of what happened aboard the Bob Barker.
A crew from Animal Planet Network's reality show Whale Wars was also on board. The current season features Lincoln and others from the Bob Barker, the Steve Irwin and the Ady Gil confronting the Japanese whaling fleet in the Antarctic whaling sanctuary.

Note: No whales were killed during his watch and no brutal images will be shown during the presentation.

Lincoln will also give up to date information on the San Francisco chapter of Sea Shepard Conservation Society and what is transpiring at this time with the organization and whaling in the Antarctic.
