A high-profile and controversial vigilante marine conservation group is sending its latest celebrity-named ship to B.C. this summer to aid in the fight to "save salmon."

The R/V Martin Sheen is expected to sail into B.C. waters in mid-July and its crew will work with local marine activist Alexandra Morton who has fought to protect wild salmon in B.C. for years.

No actual Martin Sheen, just the ship

There is no suggestion that Hollywood actor Martin Sheen — who helped launch the vessel in 2014 — will be along for the voyage. The ship is just named in an activist celebrity's honour, a long-standing practice of the group.

Details of the voyage are not public yet, but Morton confirmed that the R/V Martin Sheen is expected in Vancouver around July 11, depending on the wind.
