                ISHINOMAKI, Japan - Photo taken April 25, 2011, shows a whaling ship docked at Kushiro port in Hokkaido. The ship's departure from the port for coastal research whaling in waters off Kushiro under the approval of Japan's Fisheries Agency, which was scheduled April 25, was postponed due to bad weather. The whaling site was changed to waters off Hokkaido from off the Sanriku coastline in northeastern Japan after the catastrophic March 11 earthquake and tsunami wrecked whaling ships and related facilities in Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture, home to one of Japan's key coastal whaling bases.
