Australia and New Zealand are joining forces to carry out research on whales using non-lethal methods, in an attempt to challenge Japan’s hunting programme. According to a BBC report, 18 scientists will set sail for Antarctica next month to study minke, humpback and blue whale populations. The hope is that the research will help to disprove Japan’s claims that whales have to be killed if they are to be properly studied. The six-week voyage will start in Wellington in February, the report stated.
