It demeans the IWC (International Whaling Commission), and I'm afraid to say, it does undermine the standing and reputation of Japan around the world. There are no winners from the scientific whaling programme.  And we are, as Australia, together with other like minded nations, we are strongly opposed to this ongoing, lethal research on whales under special permit.\"\u003cbr/\u003e5.

If you do that, we will regard that as a gesture of goodwill. We are asking you to do that to show that you are interested in dialogue, that you are interested in moving forward. For five years, I've come to the IWC and I've seen very little dialogue between the conservation bloc and the small bloc of countries that continue to whale. This is a chance for Japan to show goodwill. \"\u003cbr/\u003e8. Wide shot of press conference\u003cbr/\u003e10. Cutaway of reporters\u003cbr/\u003e11. SOUNDBITE (Japanese) Joji Morishita, Director of International Negotiations, Fisheries Agency, Government of Japan:\u003cbr/\u003e\"This is what we propose on coastal whaling in Japan. The details will be explained at the main conference, but I will explain it briefly here. We think that our proposal today made a big difference from the last time we made the proposal. First of all, in the past, we have been requesting particular numbers of whales to hunt, such as 50 or 150 whales. This time, we have left that section a blank - we did not request for a particular number. The reason is to prove that we are willing to negotiate with related countries on the numbers of whales to hunt. We want to deal with this matter in a sincere manner. If we are granted a particular number of whales to be hunted in coastal whaling, we propose to subtract that number from the whaling for scientific research in Northwest Pacific, coastal area of Japan. Therefore, the total amount of hunting minke whales will not differ in numbers. Our proposal will be featuring this factor.\"\u003cbr/\u003e12. Medium shot of press conference\u003cbr/\u003e13. Close up of reporter notebook\u003cbr/\u003e14. SOUNDBITE (Japanese): Joji Morishita, Director of International Negotiations, Fisheries Agency, Government of Japan:\u003cbr/\u003e\"Finally, the new aspect in coastal whaling is that the regulation on whale surveillance is being reinforced. An oversight committee will overlook if the coastal whaling is being maintained. All members of the IWC (International Whaling Commission) are welcome to be part of the committee and if the committee starts up, it can keep a close look at the coastal whaling.  If something wrong happens, the member of the committee could warn us and give us feedback. That is the idea.\"\u003cbr/\u003e15. Cutaway of news conference\u003cbr/\u003eA meeting of the International Whaling Commission in Anchorage, Alaska has brought renewed calls for greater protection for the marine mammals.  \u003cbr/\u003eThe meeting convened amid heightened security for the first annual gathering held in the United States in almost two decades.\u003cbr/\u003eScores of anti-whaling activists were in Anchorage to monitor the four-day proceedings and lobby for increased protection of whales. \u003cbr/\u003eActivists are keeping a close watch on important issues to be addressed, including the proposed renewal of bowhead whale quota for indigenous hunters, such as Alaska natives in 10 coastal villages.\u003cbr/\u003eThe meeting is expected to end with a 21-year moratorium on commercial whaling formally still in place despite a symbolic resolution to overturn the ban that was passed at last year's meeting. \u003cbr/\u003eA 75 percent majority would be necessary to end the moratorium, but the vote fell short of that mark.\u003cbr/\u003eSeveral anti-whaling members have since been added to the commission.\u003cbr/\u003eThe moratorium was enacted in 1986 to protect several vulnerable species. \u003cbr/\u003ePro-whaling nations, including Japan, Norway and Iceland, argue that it is no longer needed because whale populations have rebounded. \u003cbr/\u003eNorway and Iceland do not recognise the ban and conduct commercial whaling, and Japan hunts whales under a research provision allowed by the IWC.\u003cbr/\u003eBut activists oppose the programme in which Japan kills about 1,000 whales each year for scientific research and then sells the meat.\u003cbr/\u003eThey say the programme is nothing but a loophole that defies the moratorium and should be better scrutinised by whale-friendly nations.\u003cbr/\u003eJapan also plans to seek \"community whaling\" status, which would give it quotas under provisions similar to those that allow Alaska natives and other indigenous groups to hunt the mammals.\u003cbr/\u003eJapan has tried and failed to get quotas for more than two decades, according to Joji Morishita, the alternate IWC commissioner for Japan.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd Japan contends that commercial whaling can coincide with environmental interests if done properly. \u003cbr/\u003eThe IWC needs to focus on managing the hunting of plentiful species rather than squelching a practice that has existed for thousands of years, said Morishita.\u003cbr/\u003eMorishita has said his country would be willing to give up some of its research kills in exchange for approval of quotas for several of its coastal communities. \u003cbr/\u003eJapan has sparked widespread outrage by its intention to kill 50 humpback whales, an endangered species.\u003cbr/\u003eDelegates of New Zealand, Australia and other whale-conservation nations urged Japan to respect the intensity of public feeling about the issue.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I'm saying to Japan on behalf of the people of New Zealand: give up the proposal to kill 50 humpbacks. If you do that, we will regard that as a gesture of good will,\" said New Zealand delegate Chris Carter.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
