Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on December 02, 1950)

Happy Birthday, Captain Paul Watson! May your day be filled with more excitement than chasing whaling ships across stormy seas. Your fearless leadership in founding Sea Shepherd and protecting marine life has inspired countless people worldwide—though we're pretty sure the whales appreciate you most.

From daring ocean pursuits to standing firm against environmental injustice, you've shown us all how one determined individual can truly make waves (pun intended). Here's hoping this year brings even greater victories for our oceans—and perhaps fewer run-ins with angry fishermen!

Cheers to another adventurous trip around the sun; may it be whale-y fantastic!
