The Whale Warriors.
Just finished a book by Peter Heller about his journey aboard the Farley Mowat, a hardy ship operated by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. The book chronicles the ship's expedition to the Antarctic as it chases the elusive Nisshin Maru, a Japanese whaling ship.
Although determinedly biased, the book nevertheless depicts a picture of intense drama, painting a world of foolhardy activists pitted against professionally-trained crews pursuing the last of the great Antarctic whale herds.
It's a riveting book which casts an unforgiving eye on both the international community's lax enforcement of conservation policies and the activists' own virtues and deficiencies.
For those familiar with the Whale Wars, this book is a welcome resource to Captain Watson's advocacy to stop whaling.
Note: Yeah, I suck at book reviews but I wasn't making one. I simply wrote this post in the slight hope that you'll click on the links and support this advocacy too.
