Where on Earth are the whalers?

That question is vexing activists from the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, who have failed to locate the Japanese whaling fleet during this season’s hunt for minke whales in the Southern Ocean.

Every year over the past decade, Sea Shepherd vessels out of Australia have shadowed the Japanese fleet to monitor the annual hunt and interfere with the killing of whales. But not this year. The whalers have managed to evade Sea Shepherd by expanding their hunting grounds.

“They have dramatically expanded their hunting area threefold, moving eastward towards Chile and westwards towards South Africa,” said Sea Shepherd founder Paul Watson. “They could be anywhere.”

Watson said the Japanese deliberately expanded the hunt to elude Sea Shepherd.

“It's like trying to find a handful of trucks in an area twice the size of the United States,” Jeff Hansen, managing director of Sea Shepherd Australia, wrote in an email.

Japanese ships are complicating matters by taking far fewer whales this season, with a reduced quota of 333, down from the 1,035 the government authorized in the past.

“They can take the quota in far less time, which gives us much less time to search for them,” Watson said.

Even worse for Sea Shepherd, only one of its vessels, the Steve Irwin, is in the Southern Ocean. The group’s two other ships that can navigate the Southern Ocean had been in the Faroe Islands trying to stop the pilot whale hunt in the North Atlantic archipelago and could not make it to the Southern Hemisphere in time.

The international community has excoriated Japan for authorizing the whaling, which the country claims is conducted for “scientific research.”

In March 2014, the International Court of Justice ruled that the whaling program was not scientific and violated a 1986 commercial whaling moratorium.
