Real Time Update:
Environmental activists sailing to Libyan waters
By DON MELVIN, Associated Press – 12 hours ago
ABOARD THE STEVE IRWIN (AP) — A boat operated by environmental activists was steaming toward Libyan waters Friday, hoping to stop illegal fishing for bluefin tuna — through confrontation if necessary.
The Steve Irwin, which is owned by the U.S.-based Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, could enter Libyan waters as early as Friday night, said Locky MacLean, the first mate. There, it will rendezvous with the Brigitte Bardot, a faster, smaller Sea Shepherd boat that is currently tailing two unidentified purse seiners — boats that catch tuna with large nets that they draw closed like purses.
The Brigitte Bardot has searched the region and has reported that 23 purse seiners are now working in the area. Not all, presumably are fishing illegally, however.
The activists will match the names of the vessels against a list of authorized ships prepared by ICCAT — the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas — and direct action will be taken only if Sea Shepherd is certain the boats are fishing without licenses or exceeding their quotas.
Please let me know if you want on or off the Whale Wars ping list.
Final Season?
Had to look in the thread myself...hadn’t heard that Discovery was dumping their sea kittens...
I think Northwestern is prettiest ship she is beauty
Several millions of dollars in ships, fuel and equipment so you can throw bottles of rotten butter at some ships in the Antarctic. And they are absolutely confident it’s all worth it.
This is why hippies shouldn’t be allowed in government.
As a whale meat eater, I say shoot the hippies.
My Japanese friends say it tastes like harp seal.
Pray for America
Doesn't Locky look like a total goof? Well that's a stupid question they all look like goofs.
Check out their teeth I bet none of them ever entered a dentist's office in their entire lives.
Does Vegan Food cause tooth decay? Maybe some sleazy lawyer could look into that.
I will post my thoughts if the stupid DVR records the re-run.
I found last week's episode to be incredibly boring. I'd rather watch an Anthony Weiner speech than watch those losers last week, boring, Discovery invent some debacle!!!
These people piss money like Charlie Sheen's son at a coke party with all the porn stars he can buy.
The sad thing is I love RDA because of Stargate SG-1 but he only shows up at conventions where all of the money goes the Paul Watson. I ain't paying for that autograph...
Haha, they lost the factory ship and now they are being tailed to tell the mother ship where they are. Next week looks like they get their prop fouled, too bad the Japs don’t have torpedoes for these ecoterrorists.
Next week does look pretty good. Lots of fail.
Japan’s whaling industry was dealt its most severe blow by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. The entire coastal town of Ayukawa, where much of the industry was located, was destroyed.

This is the final hunt, one way or another. Given the intense need to shift financial resources to cope with the earthquake and tsunami victims, there is not going to be much sympathy for propping up whaling.
I think the whalers understand that.
I agree. I’d be willing to bet that the last season, maybe two, were funded more for pride than anything else.
Loved the look of liberal failure tonight as they let the factory ship give them the slip and now they are being tailed. LOSERS!!
Actually you know what I hear Pan Yan
Deadliest Catch crew keep their ships clean before after during the fishing trips I bet those ships are smelly than Deadliest Catch ships LOL!
Like Edgar Hansen once said there three way you could go fishing easy way hard way Norwaigan way LOL!
The Northwestern is a productive vessel. The Sea Shepard, not so much.
