Japan "research whaling"

SHIMONOSEKI, Japan - Relatives of a crewmember see off the Japanese whaling ship Yushin Maru No. 2 at Shimonoseki port in Yamaguchi Prefecture, southwestern Japan, on May 16, 2014. The vessel will take part in so-called research whaling in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, with a sharply reduced quota for whale catches following a ruling by the International Court of Justice in March 2014 banning Japanese whaling in the Antarctic Sea.
