The submarine and (surfaced view at 120 knots behind the sea wasp), is also (enlarged for better viewing), is capable of being stored inside Sea Wasp for rapid intervention and covert capabilities.

We're developing the world's first highly advanced and most modern anti-whaling command and interception ship in the world.
Inside the ship, in the core of it sits a 360 degree command room, with a central command staff directing over 5 operations, via several operator consoles in a 360 degree design, and a custom data center room on board, this will enable intercepts, acoustics, air, unmanned, intelligence, radar and other data enabling all domain anti-whaling engagements.

The crew will use augmented reality headsets that allow command officers inside the control room to view a glass sphere of the world, showing every domain on earth for WDA operators, including from all air domain contacts. In live testing of the Command and Control system, the new WhaleMind system was tracking as of today, over 7,500 aircraft across the globe, at a single time, from a single operator station, proving the next stage of addition into a glass sphere system.

We were tracking flights in, but not limited too, China, Iceland, Japan, Antarctica, Chile, Mexico, Hawaii, Korea, Russia, Italy, Germany, France, the UK, Spain, Africa, Greenland, Canada, Serbia, Iran, and everywhere, anywhere on earth where an aircraft was in the sky.

We made the worlds first 'anti-whaling' all domain awareness system, ingesting track data for thousands of aircraft and systems at a single time, tracked and monitored at once, in real time by any WDA operator, including military aircraft that were not broadcasting their transponder signal, giving WDA a decisive battlespace advantage against whaling fleets and those tasked with defense of whaling.

Inside the system, the future of anti-whaling is enabled, allowing us as of today, to monitor all Krill Hotspot Regions even, task satellites surveillance, run prediction models, and process data in ways that was not possible just 10 years ago, thanks to new, custom data processing and display systems.

The submarine that goes inside Sea Wasp capable of over 100 knots, will look like this once constructed. Donate today at whaledefenseagency.org/ to further its development and construction (website may be offline as we do some work). The vessel can remain at sea without refueling, for an entire year (365 days). It uses battery storage and diesel's and a specialized hull design to reach her speed in intercept.

She can reach over 100 knots when surfaced. When undersea, her speed is around 30-32 knots submerged, she can tail any whaling ship while undersea, sprint away, evaluate the ship and return to a tail at any time, or return to the upcoming Sea Wasp inside a moonpool bay that stores her inside a 130 meter ship.

We're just having a typical day here at WDA, tracking thousands of air contacts across the globe, at a single time, on one screen. This will soon be displayed on a glass sphere, enabling hololens level views, with incredible detail.

The holographic views you imagine or see in futuristic movies or games, well we're building that for anti whaling and we can't wait to share more teasers of this technology that will change how we fight and win against illegal whaling operations in a modern era.

We've ended the APV era in favor of an ALL DOMAIN Anti Whaling Area Denial Ship. It is designed to resist boarding from all VBSS operations, and entry occurs at port, via a moonpool, with only emergency escape a viable option from the outside.

There are no doors, only vent systems, and the hangar has a 4 layer door system to prevent entry, including a steam jet system. It contains the most advanced anti-whaling, anti-VBSS technology. VBSS is known as visit, board, search and seizure, a process used in the past to Arrest the CPWF ship the Bandero.

We've studied this concept, studied how governments respond to anti-whalers now with port blocks, seizures, and flag state removals. As such, we made the decision to develop a ship that requires little to no port entry, reducing the national approach to disrupt flag states.

We've designed a multi-domain sea base platform to support the Sea Wasp at sea, without ever needing to return to a port, including drydock operations, spare parts, delivery, and more.

The Sea Wasp has a 20 meter long moonpool for a 16 meter hybrid 365 day capable submarine with a max speed of 30 knots submerged, and over 120 knots on the surface riding mode, making both of these, including the APV, the fastest naval warships in the world, un-catchable by any modern naval vessel, and capable of outrunning modern torpedos.

From Japan, Norway or Iceland, including the US Navy, there is no single large platform capable of maintaining the capabilities of the Sea Wasp.

BREAKING NEWS: The Japanese whaling vessel Yushin Maru No. 2 made a stop in Kodiak, Alaska on Thursday.

BREAKING NEWS:

WDA has developed Butyric Acid Enhanced, known within WDA as BA-2 Enhanced.

Against butyric acid, trained crew with prior exposure can operate through the discomfort through discipline and adaptation. This is observable, Sea Shepherd campaigns using butyric acid produced temporary disruption but not permanent operational cessation because crew eventually continued working.

Against the skatole compound specifically in BA-2 Enhanced, crew discipline is physiologically irrelevant. The vagal nerve response is below conscious control. A highly trained, highly disciplined crew member of the whaling fleet who is vomiting due to multi-pathway vagal activation is not failing to apply their training. Their nervous system is operating exactly as it evolved to operate. There is no training protocol that overrides involuntary vagal responses at the intensity BA-2 Enhanced produces.

Against BA-2 Enhanced, respiratory protection naturally addresses the inhalation pathway but not the mucosal irritation from N-methylmorpholine, which penetrates standard respirator seals at sufficient concentration levels. More significantly it does not address the secondary physiological responses already initiated before protective equipment is donned.

If a crew member is already experiencing vagal activation from initial skatole exposure the gag reflex and nausea persist after respiratory protection is applied. The biological response doesn't stop because the chemical exposure stops, it runs its physiological course and cannot be rapidly removed. The "smell" lingers in the person's nose, far beyond standard BA, for hours on end.

Multi-pathway simultaneous activation breaks the sequence. The brain cannot process five independent threat signals through the same sequential pathway. It initiates all five responses simultaneously, and here is the critical point, it cannot begin adaptation to any single compound because the others prevent the neural downregulation that adaptation requires.

Olfactory fatigue for butyric acid occurs within minutes to hours of sustained exposure. The receptors literally become less responsive. Crew who have experienced butyric acid attacks before have partial pre-adaptation. We needed a new solution, one that makes the crew throw up, seek fresh air and completely halt their operations in rapid fashion, while using the "covered processing" area to deliver sustained effects.

Part of the chemical makeup of BA-2 enhanced contains thioglycolic acid (C₂H₄O₂S) combined with hexanoic acid (C₆H₁₂O₂)

Both are acidic compounds that trigger the rancid/decay receptor pathway. Hexanoic acid specifically is documented in food science literature as producing reliable nausea responses at concentrations above 1 ppm, it is the compound primarily responsible for the smell of rancid meat and severely spoiled dairy.

At the concentrations present in a BA-2 Enhanced deployment, these two compounds drive the nausea response from chemical irritation of the upper respiratory tract in addition to the olfactory pathway. The nasal cavity, throat, and upper airway are chemically sensitive to acidic vapors at these concentrations. The irritation produces increased saliva production, which is the physiological precursor to vomiting, independently of the olfactory response.

BA-2 enhanced can be smelled from over half a mile away and is one of the most foul smelling chemical agents in the world, it is incredibly potent, designed to rapidly degrade and stop whaling activities for months and weeks at a time. It cannot be removed by any standard or known cleaning agent without making the chemical composition worse, and requires a proprietary cleaning agent designed specifically to remove BA-2 Enhanced from metal and other surfaces on the ship. Without the cleaning agent, the Kangei Maru could be put out of commission due to how the chemical agents adhere and stick to the ships materials for months at a time.

It was designed this way so the whalers can not remove it. Once on the ship, BA-2 enhanced contains many chemicals within one larger makeup, that make cleaning one agent fine, but expedites the smell from another agent in the process when combined with water or soap for example, making a special cleaning agent the only way to remove it, giving WDA the terms to dictate the end of whaling, in exchange for cleaning agents supplied to them. It can force the Kangei Maru into drydock for extensive cleaning repairs that can shut down its operations far longer than what any previous NGO has done.

Whale Defense Agency Takes Legal Action Against Japanese Whaling Fleet's Digital Intelligence Operations

Historic Legal Notice Invokes Federal Computer Fraud Laws to Protect Operational Data from Commercial Exploitation

SACRAMENTO, CA – January 18, 2026 – The Whale Defense Agency (WDA) announced today that it has issued formal legal notice to Kyodo Senpaku Kaisha, Ltd., the Japanese commercial whaling company, the notice, prohibits access to WDA's digital systems and use of WDA operational intelligence under the U.S. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. § 1030).

The notice, delivered on January 17, 2026, establishes that WDA's operational data — including vessel positions, tactical intelligence, and mission information published on whaledefenseagency.org — is protected proprietary information subject to strict licensing and access restrictions. The data may not be used in any manner that supports, facilitates, or benefits whaling operations.

"After decades of harassment by whalers against the anti-whaling movement, existing court action by the whalers against other similar NGO's, we are applying a different method of deterrence in the online domain," said a WDA spokesperson. "Our operational intelligence, the data they collect from our website, is not public property — it is protected data that cannot be exploited for commercial gain by those profiting from whale slaughter."

Legal Framework Making Unauthorized Access Toxic

Under the formal notice, Kyodo Senpaku Kaisha, Ltd. and its entire support network — including government agencies, paid contractors, third-party intelligence services, and individual supporters selling, transferring or providing "services" — are permanently prohibited from accessing whaledefenseagency.org or any WDA digital systems, collecting vessel positions, operational intelligence, or tactical information from WDA sources or using WDA information to tail, harass, or interfere with anti-whaling operations at sea, should they encounter the 60 Knot Anti-Poaching Vessel, known as the APV.

Any knowing and intentional access after receipt of this notice by anyone who is stated in the notice, constitutes a violation of federal law, exposing violators to civil damages, injunctive relief, and potential criminal prosecution under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

"This makes it legally toxic for them to even visit our website," the WDA spokesperson continued. "If a whaling company accesses our site to obtain a ship position we've published — even in a press release — they are committing federal computer crimes with documented notice. The lawsuit they would receive is designed to do exactly what it's intended to do, DETER and then restrict through injunctions if required."

Targeting the Whaling Support Network

In addition to the Japanese whaling fleet, WDA's legal team is issuing similar prohibition notices to individuals who have supported whaling operations through misinformation campaigns and data exploitation.

"Propagandabuster," a pro-whaling propagandist known for screenshotting conservation data and transferring it to support whaling interests while monetizing anti-conservation content, will receive formal legal notice banning access to all WDA systems. His commercial operations — including YouTube monetization and branded merchandise sales—make him liable for willful copyright infringement and commercial exploitation of protected data.

"Just because WDA is an NGO doesn't mean anyone is entitled to our data or can assume public access," WDA explained. "Our data is licensed and protected — no different than Global Fishing Watch restricting use of its vessel tracking data through terms of service. No one is above the law when it comes to protected information."

WDA has implemented specialized policies targeting government intelligence operations, particularly from whaling nations, that attempt to access WDA systems for state-sponsored intelligence collection.

"We have policies designed specifically for nation states that go into even greater depth," WDA stated. "Even the Japanese government cannot legally access our systems to support whaling operations. This makes our operational intelligence almost impossible to touch in every sense."

A Replicable Model for the Anti-Whaling Movement

WDA's legal strategy represents a scalable framework that other conservation organizations can adopt to protect their operational security and complicate intelligence-gathering by whaling fleets worldwide.

"This model serves to be replicated by other anti-whaling groups who wish to erode the intelligence capabilities of whaling fleets," WDA emphasized. "By putting whaling companies and their support networks at legal risk through an intelligent, scalable approach, we target the data they would otherwise use for commercial gain and operational advantage, and laws exist to prevent this use and exploitation."

"While nothing physically stops someone from visiting our website, the lawsuit they would receive makes it legally and financially catastrophic to do so," a WDA spokesperson said. "This is deterrence through legal consequence — and it changes the game entirely. It's never been done before against the whalers, they will have new challenges to contend with, and the biggest is a loss of intelligence data."

Complementing At-Sea Operations

This legal strategy now operates in parallel with WDA's direct action at sea and covert operations, creating a multi-domain approach to whale protection.

"We're fighting in every domain — at sea, in the courts, and in the digital space," the spokesperson said.

"The whalers can no longer operate with impunity in any arena, as we will challenge it at levels that are far more aggressive than what they witnessed with Sea Shepherd or Paul Watson. If they complained about Sea Shepherd so bad, they are not prepared for what's being done in secret to stun them at every angle. We will stop whaling full stop, through all domain awareness and control, at civilian levels, using former military to achieve mission objectives for the agency."

Internal Case Reference: WDA-2026-001-Kyodo
Legal Notice Issued: January 17, 2026
Public Release: January 18, 2026

Since the WDA website is upgrading to become part of a command node, where anyone in the world can report a whaling vessel coordinate, ship photo, etc and that will automatically be cued into a live drone waiting for takeoff only once verified intelligence comes in, and the data provided on the upcoming site, although engineered to be less informative to the whalers, still contains important info, we may post a ship position, or other info, shown or likely displayed, with major value of operational importance to the whaling fleet.

To restrict their access, we've created various policies and filed and sent such notices (below). As part of our organization enhancement, everything you "knew" about WDA is about to change in major ways. This new method, is one of many, major upcoming plans to be announced over the coming years and months.

And our final note, if you are a whaler reading this, be prepared to not be allowed to again. We're engineering something else that you will dislike for "social channels", and we're entirely moving away from non-self hosted or maintained infrastructure that the whalers can use or weaponize against the agency.

Facebook, twitter, linkedin, all of these will be deleted or removed in the coming months and years, or not active, or rarely used. We are still evaluating how exactly this process will occur, but the change will happen. Everything will be replaced with in house built systems, so we can control every aspect of the domain we operate in, including the information domain and the terms of service. Everything we share or post about, will in the future, only be published via WDA networks or sites, to enable this policy to be the most effective.

A Facebook term or privacy policy does not cover WDA operations, as such, this platform is no longer secure for WDA operations. We've gone silent, rather than publish, and we work on internal systems to replace social networks and more by creating a WDA social network where we can control, monitor, restrict, moderate and enhance the experience for users, where needed. If anti-whalers are being harassed in our own network, we can deploy code within two hours that would crush pro whaling trolls.

Saving whales is not a dream, it's an engineering challenge, and we understand engineering, from coding, to ships development, to policy and legal, we own the anti-whaling domain through intelligent, scalable approaches and novel concepts that in effect, provide a "shock and awe" approach on a often continued, rotational basis as new methods, capabilities or approaches come online.

Controlling the online domain means we control the whalers actions at sea. If they can't monitor our website for intel, they can't effectively chase us down.

While online work does not provide the tv drama of previous organizations, the effect of deterrence with such notices and policies is actually very incredible, from a legal standpoint, the whalers can never access the WDA website again. The data is now "licensed", it can't be used for commercial or private gain from parties who support whaling.
