Prepare to mark your calendars Sea Shepherd
According to Animal Planet, season 4 will feature the high seas action viewers of the show have come to anticipate but with new equipment including secret GPS devices, an extended range helicopter and a new vessel, the Gojira, expect even more heart pounding adventure.

“In order to save the whales, people have to be willing to risk their lives,” explained Captain Paul Watson
When asked if the Sea Shepherd's efforts can actually lead to an end to whaling, Watson emphatically responded, “We can’t stop whaling? That’s what they once said about slavery, but it was stopped. So yes, we can stop whaling.”
Considering the early end to whale season this February—whalers fulfilled only 15% of quota—this year’s "Whale Wars" is being billed as a possible final battle.
Hopefully, like slavery, whaling becomes a relic of the past, a lot sooner than later.
