MEET THE CREW: His official title is Chief Engineer, but this crewmember wears many hats including wildlife and photography enthusiast. He has been at the frontline of numerous Sea Shepherd campaigns, was arrested under false pretenses in Taiji, Japan in 2011 while standing in defence of the dolphins, and is responsible for some of the incredible Orca images we showed you last month. Name: Erwin Vermeulen Position: Chief Engineer, The MV Bob Barker Country of Origin: Netherlands Job outside of Sea Shepherd: Marine Chief Engineer (Erwin has never had a job on land!) Previous Sea Shepherd Campaign: Op. Waltzing Matilda, Op. Relentless, Op. Blue Rage 1, Op. Grindstop 2010 & 2014, Op. Ferocious Isles 2011, Infinite Patience (Taiji) 2011-12, Grindstop 2014, Op. Toxic Gulf 1 & 2 Why is Operation Icefish important to you: Its important to protect other apex predators in the ocean, much like we do whales and tuna, because if we take away the main predators of the ecosystem, the ecosystem collapses.
