The Bob Brown Foundation’s 2014 Young Environmentalist of the Year, and $2000 prize money, was awarded to Peter Hammarstedt, captain of the Sea Shepherd ship Bob Barker. “Peter Hammarstedts maturity and courage under extreme duress from the Japanese whale-killers belie his age of 30. The cool determination of this protégé of Sea Shepherds Captain Paul Watson in placing his ship Bob Barker between an aggressive Japanese whaling factory ship and a South Korean tanker in Antarctic waters two summers ago is legendary in the annals of global wildlife protection. That heroic manoeuvre was crucial to saving the lives of hundreds of whales but was only part of Peters years of commitment to protecting Earths oceanic commons.” Bob Brown
