Sea Shepherd is not going to the water of Antarctica to protest whaling. They are going there to physically intervene with the purpose of upholding international laws protecting the whales.

The Japanese are violating the Southern Ocean Sanctuary. They are violating the International Whaling Commission (IWC) moratorium on commercial whaling. They are targeting endangered fin and humpback whales that are protected under the Convention on the Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna. (CITES). The Japanese are also in violation of the Australian laws protecting the Australian Antarctic Territorial waters.

That update from "Girls Go Fishing", a startling new site, for me anyhow.
Also, there is Captain Paul Watson [yup, he is still doing the good works!] 's Blog with his updates from the flagship Farley Mowat:

oooooooooooJapan's whaling fleet sets sail

Japan's whaling fleet has set sail for Antarctic waters where it will make its biggest catch in 20 years.

The boats will aim to catch nearly 1,000 whales over the coming months.

A global moratorium on commercial whaling has been in place since the 1980s, but Japan describes its programme as "scientific." More

Whale Burgers anyone???
