The activist organisation, Sea Shepherds Conservation Society, created drastic changes in the rate of illegal whaling incidents within the Sothern Ocean’s sanctuary waters through the use State thesis

of digital and non-digital methods

Paragraph 1- Describe the Activist The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society campaigns to end illegal whaling occurring in the Southern Ocean’s sanctuary waters. Topic sentence “This is your first main point”

Argument (elaboration) “Elaborate on the claim made in the topic sentence.”

Example (academic) “Paraphrase or use a direct quote to help prove the claim made in the topic sentence.”

-

“Where activists were once defined by their causes, they are now defined by their tools. Facebook warriors go online to push for change” (Gladwell 2010, 1) - Contrast to the sea shepherds as they are making something happen through their actions, rather than just purely using social media, both actions and tools are incorporated within each other, to both make awareness and show action, to introduce to people to their campaigns and show what is required of a volunteer, or how people can support -

Example (illustration) “Explain the academic reference or use an example to illustrate it”

Restate argument linking to the thesis and introduce next point.

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society originated in 1977, by Captain Paul Watson, whose motive was to end illegal whaling, and to protect and conserve the ocean environment and its inhabitants. Follows the United Nations World Charter for Nature, in order to ensure their actions against opposing organisations (Japanese whalers for example) is legal and gives them authority to act and enforce conservational laws.

-

Jeff Hanson (Sea Shepherd, Australian Director) “We are not anti-any nationality or culture. We are pro-Ocean and we work in the interests of all life on Earth. We only oppose criminals and criminal operations.” The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society acknowledge claims of racial motives behind their goal of conserving the oceans wildlife and make clear that the “… do not oppose Japanese or Norwegian whaling we oppose illegal whaling as defined under international conservation law.”

The Sea Shepherd’s believe in the conservational rights of the ocean and its wildlife, in particular the whales of the southern ocean sanctuary, and has a goal of ending illegal whaling.

Paragraph 2- Describe the agenda of the activist

Topic sentence “This is your second main point”

-

End slaughter of wildlife (whales)

-

Protect whales in doing so

-

Act on behalf of and enforce international conservation laws

-

Create change in Australian government, by trying to encourage support in stopping illegal whaling operations

-

B

Example (academic) “Paraphrase or use a direct quote to help prove the claim made in the topic sentence.”

Example (illustration) “Explain the academic reference or use an example to illustrate it”

Restate argument linking to the thesis and introduce next point.

The main goal of the organisation is to stop the JARPA II (Japanese whaling organisation claiming to kill whales for research) in its pursuit of illegal whaling in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. In conjunction with this, the activist organisation follows the United Nations World Charter for Nature (sections 21-24).

“Some seventy thousand students eventually took part. Thousands were arrested and untold thousands more radicalized. These events in the early sixties became a civil-rights war that engulfed the South for the rest of the decade…”

The students taking part in this protest where standing up for their rights, just as the Sea Shepherds stand up for the rights of marine life, as the wildlife of the ocean doesn’t have this ability. Similarly, both activist groups are looking for a change in society through the government. Although, the SSCS are looking for protection of whales (and all ocean ecosystems) and are looking for support, rather than segregation issues. -

Th Sea Shepherds goals of protecting and conserving, and trying to promote change in border protections to end whale hunting are pursued through their methods of protest.

Paragraph 3- Methods of Protest Sea Shepherd Australia routines a “direct-action” approach to the issue while incorporating visual documentation to expose and prevent illegal activity. Topic sentence “This is your third main point”

Argument (elaboration) “Elaborate on the claim made in the topic sentence.”

Example (academic) “Paraphrase or use a direct quote to help prove the claim made in the topic sentence.”

Example (illustration) “Explain the academic reference or use an example to illustrate it”

-

Non-Digital(‘violent’): Whaling Campaigns: aim of ‘hunting’ down the Japanese whaling fleets, and directly intercepting their attempts to hunt whales. Digital: Documentations of the campaigns, (e.g. filming and photographs) in order to expose illegal activity.

-

“… it is your duty to help those around you, … better understand the problems facing society. Build a team of people devoted to finding solutions.” (Attri 2014, 22)

-

“Digital activism campaigns are most successful at drawing public demonstrations of protest when the government is the target.” (Edwards 2013, 15)

-

1ST Quote: The team of activists involved in the SSCS are dedicated to solving illegal actions of whaling, and use their campaigns to intercept the actions of whaling, while encountering violence from the whaling forcers (sinking the SSCS ships in resistance) they continue to push the whalers away from the protected waters.

-

2ND Quote: in this case, part of SSCS’s goal is to get government support for the oceans that Australia is a part of, and by doing this they use visual documentation of their direct actions against illegal whalers to bring about awareness in how they can help make change

Whaling campaigns and the use of visual documentation have been effective in decreasing whaling, however improvements need to be made to reach their goal. Restate argument linking to the thesis and introduce next point.

Paragraph 4 – Evaluating the Effectiveness of the Activist

Topic sentence “This is your third main point”

The Sea Shepherds Conservation Society has made extremely positive effects towards decreasing whaling activity, however have not completed their ultimate goal of discontinuing it completely.

Argument (elaboration) “Elaborate on the claim made in the topic sentence.”

Example (academic) “Paraphrase or use a direct quote to help prove the claim made in the topic sentence.”

Example (illustration) “Explain the academic reference or use an example to illustrate it”

Restate argument linking to the thesis and introduce next point.

-

In the SSCS’s 1ST Campaign (2002-2002): the whalers re-routed their original plan to catch the whales and the sea shepherds were unable to save whales, this was due to the lack of knowledge, they did not have sufficient equipment, aerial surveillance. Operation Nemesis (2016-2017): the shepherds were able to dramatically decrease the number of whales being hunted by 200 a month, however this is not their ultimate goal of 0 whale slaughters, this is because they do not have the power of government supporting them, even if the Australian government was behind them, without foreign governments ending their requests for whale fleets to depart into the Southern Ocean, the issue will never be resolved.

“Talk with both sides…. This step is often used when negotiation fails to produce results, or when people need to draw broader attention to a problem. it can include tactics such as peaceful demonstrations, letter-writing and petition campaign.” (Attri, 2014. 22)

In this it is explained that when talking to both sides, it opens up room for a broadened view on the issue. For example, the SSCS need support from both sides to achieve their goal, people who only know the Japanese side of the story can see eating whale as a harmless tradition and come to the conclusion that the Shepherds do what they do due to racist motives. However, when sharing their view with both sides the knowledge that the SSCS do their campaigns out of the rights of the United Nations and the animals themselves, further support can grow.

Overall, Sea Shepherds have made drastic change to the number of whales being illegally killed but have yet to reach their goal to end this slaughter for good.

Conclusion

Summarise main Points

-

The rights of marine ecosystems The illegal carnage of whales, taking place in a known sanctuary *Stop Japan’s Whale Research Program – hunting Minke whales in a sancutary

Conclusions reached with thesis

-

Digital Non-digital E.g. the SSCS’s whaling campaigns and their visual documentations

-

Future activists can become more effective by making sure that their agenda is spread to more people to increase awareness to the global issue.

Future considerations for research
