Greenpeace launched a new weblog 'Stop Icelandic Whaling'.
http://weblog.greenpeace.org
The Greenpeace ship MV Arctic Sunrise is visiting Iceland to support our campaigns against commercial whaling and climate change.
Our visit coincides with the annual meeting of the International Whaling Commission in Korea. On June 20th, representatives from governments around the world will decide whether or not to lift the current ban on whaling.
Iceland resumed 'scientific whaling' in 2003, since then 61 minke whales have been killed - but domestic criticism is increasing and the market for whale products is decreasing. Iceland have yet to make their whaling quota for this year public.
We won’t give up until the whaling programme ends completely - read the experiences of the crew of the MV Arctic Sunrise here: http://weblog.greenpeace.org
