Whaling fleet attempts to sneak out of port
Our activists marked the departure of Japan’s whaling fleet from the port of Innoshima with banners declaring “Whaling on Trial.” The fleet had attempted to leave for the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary unnoticed, by canceling their traditional high-profile departure ceremony in Shimonoseki. Instead, the factory ship Nisshin Maru left with no fanfare, waved off only by the crew’s families and whaling officials.

Dead tuna heads for deadbeat tuna managers
What does it take to get the governments responsible for the imminent collapse of the East Atlantic and Mediterranean bluefin tuna fishery to wake up and do something? What about a mock “Pirates of the Mediterranean” poster of the responsible minsters in Pirate gear in the Economist? How about more than 10,000 emails? OK, how about several tonnes of dead tuna fish heads dumped on the doorstep of the French Fisheries minister?

Rainbow Warrior impounded by Dutch police
The Rainbow Warrior has been impounded and the captain arrested after it was boarded by the police three times over the weekend. The ship was part of a protest against the new coal fired power station that E.ON is building next to their existing climate changing coal plant. The Rainbow Warrior together with one of our other ships - the Beluga II - were blocking the coal port of Rotterdam to stop any coal ships from entering. After spending the day surrounded by police boats they were eventually forced to leave the coal port in the evening.
