The Sea Shepard Conservation Society IS a nonprofit conservation organization that focuses on ending the destruction and slaughter of marine wildlife,VERY recently they unveiled a new vessel that will be utilised to combat Japanese whalers in Antarctica.

In December, the new ship—the Ady Gil—will accompany the society’s flagship, Steve Irwin, from Australia to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary, where the ships and volunteers will intervene on illegal whaling.

Capt. Paul Watson, the society’s president and founder, will utilise the new vessel, which have the maximum speed of up to 50 knots, to physically block harpoon ships from illegally slaughtering whales.

“We are very optimistic that with these two ships, and some other surprises, we will shut down whaling in the Antarctic whale sanctuary,” Watson said in a recent statement.
