ETC isn't the only NGO "green" group paying attention to Russ George and the Haida.
"*It was their intention to ram and rip our ship open from stem to stern and sink it along with the 40 scientists aboard*", said Russ George, 29 minutes and 30 seconds into this video <http://vimeo.com/8038030> Mr. George was referring to a press release Mr. George says Paul Watson's*Sea Shepherd Society * issued when Russ George was planning to send his ship, the PLANKTOS, into waters west of the Galapagos Islands to dump some iron dust in 2007. I was unable to find a copy of the press release Mr. George is referring to. However, Canada's newspaper of record, the Toronto Globe and Mail, published this quote<http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/sea-shepherds-watson-vows-to-stop-bc-ocean-fertilization-plan/article5061216/>from Paul Watson in late 2012: "We stopped him in the Galapagos in 2007.... [and] ...now that he has raised his head again, Sea Shepherd will be watching him and we will interfere with future plans to dump iron dust into the marine environment". A bit more of Russ George describing what he thought Paul Watson intended to do to his ship, from his video: "Ultimately the Sea Shepherd Society, Paul Watson in his great wisdom, announced that if our ship showed up near the Galapagos Islands, they had installed a special hydraulic device on the side of their ship which was five times the size of our ship which could rip through the steel of our ship like a can opener. It was their intention to ram and rip our ship open from stem to stern and sink it along with the 40 scientists aboard who were doing this, because we were putting 100 tonnes of iron dust, a natural rock dust, in the ocean."
