the incident from another viewpoint
Shows that the Japanese Shonan Maru is highly manuverable for its size and moves towards the ady gil just before the collision and away from it after, notably this is a protection vessel and not a whaling trawler. I can see no bow wave on the ady gil so assume it must be stationary.
There seems to be a lot of nutcases on both sides of this argument, sure environmentalists can go too far but more often money goes too far in the other direction.
I'm glad that sea shepard and greenpeace are out there doing what they are, not because I'm an environmentalist but because we live on the scabby crust of a molten ball of ferrous gloop that has a habit of wiping out most of its inhabitants every now and again.
Until the day mankind has stable populations independent of planet earth we should respect how mother nature doesn't give a crap about us and learn to safeguard our own resource supplies.

It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.

Quote: 5) I've known some fishermen ... and by and large - they are only interested in putting money in their wallets. They don't give a damn - for the most part - about anything else. Now ... that said ... I also know people - who know fishermen who were killed by sharks trying to save dolphins caught in nets ... so it isn't one way ... but mostly - these guys work very, very hard - so they can make lots and lots of money. They have done to good a job and now we are having a problem. With all the money they have invested in their ships and equipment though - they don't care that they are depopulating the oceans ... they just won't look that far ahead. To focused on making money - NOW!!!!!
It's called making a living. It's kind of important to grown ups.
Fishing cod till the stock collapses isn't grown up, it's gross stupidity on so many levels.
