From Japan straight out to the world: the web site for news and information

On November 27, 2015, having completed the additional analyses necessary for the implementation of the New Scientific Whale Research Program in the Antarctic Ocean (NEWREP-A), the Japanese government made the decision to finalize this program and carry it out starting this fiscal year.
