Planet Green regulars are surely familiar with Whale Wars. Now, those of you in the New York area are about to get the chance for a face-to-face interaction with the crew of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's flagship, the Steve Irwin.
From April 26 to 30, the Steve Irwin will be docked at Pier 59 of Chelsea Piers in the Big Apple. Fresh off another successful Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign, the ship is being prepared to take on the Mediterranean Bluefin Tuna industry. For 10 days, you can tour the Steve Irwin and/or be part of the onshore volunteer team. (Tours will run daily from approximately 10 am to 3 pm.)
