| Subject: Good for them: Japan to expand its Antarctic whaling area Wed Nov 19, 2014 12:50 am | |
| Japan is to vastly expand its Antarctic whaling area, and take 333 minke whales, under a scientific research plan to replace the program ruled illegal at Australia's request.
Until now the whalers have operated mainly south of Australia and New Zealand, but the new research zone extends around two thirds of the Antarctic coast, into the South Atlantic and South-East Pacific.
Its proposed hunt of 333 minke whales from the end of 2015 is a sharply reduced quota, but much more than the whalers have been able to take in recent years under Sea Shepherd pursuit.
The plan released by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forests and Fisheries in Tokyo on Tuesday, replaces the JARPA II program, which the International Court of Justice (ICJ) found was disguised commercial whaling, in breach of a global moratorium.
