Greenpeace protesters from MV GONDWANA jumped into the Tasman Sea from helicopters to block the path of whaling factory ship NISSHIN MARU NO 3 on her way to rendezvous with the rest of the Japanese whaling fleet in the Southern Ocean. At a later encounter with the whole fleet whaling was completely abandoned for several days until the Greenpeace ship left. (Greenpeace Witness book page 121) (Greenpeace Changing the World page 57)
