Paul Watson
On May 13, 2012, "The Costa Rica Star" reported on the arrest of Paul Watson, founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, by German law enforcement officials in Frankfurt. From that day on, The Costa Rica Star reported extensively on the saga of the Canadian eco-activist, once eliciting comments from Paul Watson himself through the website's Facebook commenting plugin. "The Costa Rica Star" has also published press communications written by Paul Watson for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society as well as an official response from the International Whale Protection Organization on this contentious matter.
