Suspense and success in the Southern Ocean Sanctuary
Article Abstract:
A description is presented on the efforts of Greenpeace to prohibit whaling by Japanese fleets in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. Tactics include interfering with bringing catches on deck, as the whalers' harpoons are still attached to the whale and are not able to fire again until the catch is released.
