Japanese Factory Ship Stopped Dead in the Water
Japanese Factory Ship Stopped Dead in the Water
The Nisshin Maru re-entered the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary this morning.
The Steve Irwin warned them in Japanese that they were illegally entering a whale Sanctuary.
The Steve Irwin began to circle the Nisshin Maru causing the Japanese factory ship to stop dead in the water at 60 degrees 10 Minutes South and 76 Degrees 45 Minutes East.
In calm waters with slight snow flurries and surrounded by icebergs the Nissin Maru has been stopped for two hours.
The objective of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is to slow down illegal Japanese whaling operations.
The Japanese whaling fleet has killed not one whale since February 5th.
With the Nisshin Maru stopped in the water and the Steve Irwin circling a pod of Humpback whales surfaced between the two ships to take a look. The crew of the Steve Irwin cheered.
