Otherwise we've been spending our time informing the many Korean visitors, young and old via our interpretors of the many perils that our largest brothers and sisters of the sea face. Unfortunately not just 'bycatch' but pollution, global warming and overfishing and of course commercial hunting too!

We learn many interesting facts from our visitors, among some of the more disturbing 'bycatch' methods was that upon spotting a whale the captain of a boat would ram the boat into it,causing massive internal damage and gashing the body,the whale would dive down to escape but eventually would need to return to the surface to breath apon which the boat would repeatedly plough into the whale eventually killing it.

On the bright side a fisherman who had come in to give his full support, told us that three years ago he had caught 3 whales in his nets and sold them for $100 000. He said that he felt deep remorse, he wished us all the best in our campaign, hoping that he would once again see whales in the East sea.
