90-ish days out, Operation Waltzing Matilda begins


Our 6th voyage to defend endangered whales in the Antarctic Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary will depart from Australia in less than 90 days – on December 7, 2009.

Starting in December, the Japanese whaling fleet will be targeting 935 piked (Minke) whales and another 50 fin whales, and has threatened to add humpbacks to their quota as well. We intend to once again negate their illicit profits.

Because of Sea Shepherd interventions, the Japanese whalers have suffered losses for three years. We are making steady progress towards our objective of sinking the entire Japanese whaling fleet – economically.

And thanks to our supporters, every year we get stronger and every year we are able to escalate and improve our tactics of intervention.
