Japan’s Institute of Cetacean Research and Kyodo Senpaku, which conduct the nation’s whale hunts, say they reached a mediation agreement with the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and its founder Paul Watson.
Under the terms of the negotiated agreement, Sea Shepherd and Watson are prohibited from "physically attacking" Japan’s whaling vessels or crew, or approaching closer than 500 yards to the vessels on the high seas.
