A ship from the Captain Paul Watson Foundation rammed into a Norwegian creel trawler called the Antarctic Sea down in Antarctic waters. The trawler's owner, Acre Crill, calls it a straight-up delivered attack, backed by video showing the activist vessel might be Bandero slamming into it. Side at an angle, that video captures the Bandero closing in on the stern and hitting the port side, coming dangerously close to the diesel tank. A leak there could have spelled disaster for the crew and nearby wildlife in those remote seven ocean spots. No one on the trawler got hurt, but the company is eyeing legal action against the foundation. Meanwhile, the activist frame it as a direct intervention that shut down creel fishing ops with two Acre vessels for over five hours this past. Tuesday. This ties into their new Operation Cruel Wars campaign, targeting industrial creel halls that feed whales, penguins, seals, and seabirds. Paul Watson, who founded the group, says enough is enough. After years of just documenting the

damage without results, he wasn't even on board for the clash. Tensions are high out there as these battles over creel heat up with both sides digging in for what's next in the icy waters. That's your update from Canada News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story.
