Letter to a whaling captain

One of our youngest supporters, Martina, has a good idea and great New Year's Resolution for the captain of the Japanese whaling fleet - the Nisshin Maru.

She asks Mr Toyama to take his whaling ship back home, remove its harpoons and then return to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary with tourists ready to whale watch. What a top idea!

Whalers ram Greenpeace ship

The Arctic Sunrise has been deliberately rammed and damaged by the Nisshin Maru, the factory ship of the Japanese whaling fleet. This video footage was taken from both our ships with Shane Rattenbury explaining what happened. In particular the second half of the footage, shot from the Esperanza, clearly shows events.
