The war over aquatic cocaine

Sea Shepherd is best known globally for its direct action against Japan's whaling in the Antarctic, engaging the whaling fleet boldly at sea. It's a level of direct confrontation rarely seen on the environmental activist stage, but just one of the group's many campaigns around the world. <br />In the Gulf of California, Sea Shepherd is working in conjunction with the Mexican government to halt the poaching, often calling the navy for help in arresting poachers or pulling up giant nets.
