The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is a hardline anti-whaling organisation.
It attempts to disrupt or stop the Japanese annual whale hunt in the
Southern Ocean by using “direct action”.
Last season, Japan cut short its annual whale hunt with less than a fifth of
their quota in response to Sea Shepherd harassment which saw an activist
boat, The Ady Gil, sunk
in a collision with a Japanese ship.
Japan,
which along with Iceland and Norway is one of one three countries that hunt
whales, introduced scientific whaling to skirt the commercial whaling ban
under a 1986 moratorium.
