The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's ship Steve Irwin has driven the Japanese whaling fleet out of the Australian Economic Exclusion Zone.
"We have chased the whalers for over 800 miles since last Saturday through bad weather and heavy ice conditions," said Captain Paul Watson. "They have fled eastward and they are continuing eastward and we are on their tail and we will keep on their tail."
Sea Shepherd are pretty much on a permanent D-notice because in the past they have been a bit rough in their direct action. I support non-violence, and Sea Shep now operate within non-violent parameters afaik, and I like them because they went out of their way to help with the campaign against (nuclear waste) sea dumping in the 70s.
