| JAPANESE whalers have radically changed their plans this summer, doubling the area of the Southern Ocean in which they say they may hunt.
The change, notified to the International Whaling Commission, will make it more difficult for anti-whaling activists to find the whalers.
Japan's self-awarded scientific permit for 2010-11 gives the whaling fleet millions of square kilometres of ocean south of Australia in which to hunt, as well as south of New Zealand. Advertisement: Story continues below
In previous seasons, the fleet has alternated between these two areas. Until the notification was given to the commission's secretariat in Britain, it was thought to be the turn of New Zealand, whose authorities would be mainly responsible for search and rescue, monitoring and surveillance.
