Reports that the Japanese whaling fleet is about to invest in a faster mother-ship to enable them to 'out-run' protesters who object to the killing of these animals clearly confirms that the claim that their activity is 'research' is a fiction (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/jan/23/japan-to-replace-whaling-mother-ship-in-sign-hunts-will-go-on). Whaling may be profitable but it is both cruel and unsustainable.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
