class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Media reports from Japan this week highlight that the Japanese Fisheries Agency is likely to send the whaling fleet to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary near Antarctica later this year. A US$27 million boost to security for the whaling fleet is likely, despite the country still reeling from it's triple disaster of earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown. The injection of more Government money into the program is likely to be controversial locally when many people are still homeless as a result of the disasters and when many rebuilding programs still require funding. </p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-1 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Geography:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/geography/global/international">Global/International</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-5 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Keywords:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/keywords/whaling">whaling</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/keywords/sea-shepherd">Sea Shepherd</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/keywords/japan">Japan</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/keywords/greenpeace">Greenpeace</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/keywords/ifaw">IFAW</a></div></div></div> Sat, 01 Oct 2011 15:17:28 +0000 takver 4224 at http://localhost/indymedia.org.au/drupal http://localhost/indymedia.org.au/drupal/2011/02/23/the-end-of-commercial-whaling-in-the-southern-ocean <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p> "The whale war in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary is over.
