Environmental activist and founder of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society Paul Watson on Wednesday congratulated Citizens Action Party candidate Luis Guillermo Solís and called him “Costa Rica’s next president.”
The Brigitte Bardot, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society’s 35-meter interceptor vessel, arrived at Guatemala’s Port San José last week for an unexpected mission: to help the Guatemalan Navy patrol the Pacific for marlin poachers.
The well-known conservationist was on land barely a week in the United States when Costa Rica filed a formal request to have him sent back to Central America to face charges from a 2002 incident.
