This is the most effective year for saving whales yet. The Japanese whalers have been severely compromised in their ability to kill whales. We estimate their kill quota has been diminished by two-thirds.

All that is needed to shut down the Japanese fleet by 100 percent, is a third large vessel to keep the third harpooner occupied, but Sea Shepherd does not have another large vessel. The Greenpeace Foundation, however, has two ships in Taiwan. One Greenpeace ship in the Southern Ocean could shut the door on the killing of whales completely, and all Greenpeace would have to do is just show up.

Sea Shepherd is formally requesting the assistance of the Greenpeace Foundation to cooperate in achieving the total shutdown of illegal Japanese whaling activities. Even one Greenpeace ship would make an enormous difference down here in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. Sea Shepherd would provide Greenpeace with the whaling fleet’s coordinates, and a Greenpeace ship could be on site in as little as two weeks.

The opportunity to end whaling in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary permanently is here now. We have a chance to send the Japanese whaling fleet home with their holds empty and their harpoons blood-free.

Will Greenpeace join forces with them? I hope they do!

1. Greenpeace has historically rejected Watson's tactics

A TV show should not change that.
