Paul Watson Organization to Hold Whale Memorial Ceremony Off Iceland

The international animal welfare group, the Paul Watson Organization, intends to hold a peaceful memorial ceremony in Faxaflói bay to commemorate the whales hunted during the current season. The organization directed its message to the Icelandic public, calling for solidarity and stressing that public voices hold significant weight in this matter.

In a Facebook post, the organization stated, "In the coming days, Captain Paul Watson's organization will hold a peaceful memorial ceremony in Faxaflói to honor the memory of the whales that Kristján Loftsson has killed." The group highlighted the importance of public participation, encouraging people to attend and demonstrate their support for the whales.

The organization's ship, the Sea Shepherd, recently returned to Icelandic waters after a detour to Ireland due to illness among the crew. While the ship has not yet managed to locate Kristján Loftsson's whaling vessel, the Paul Watson Organization has offered a reward of 250,000 Icelandic krónur to anyone providing information that leads to the vessel's discovery.
