例の連邦裁判で原告側であったHSIは領海はもちろんのこと排他的経済水域内でも逮捕するべきだったとこれまた手厳しいことおっしゃっております。

Humane Society International reminds Australia that Japanese whalers are illegal in Australian Territorial waters
http://www.seashepherd.org/news-and-media/2012/01/12/humane-society-international-reminds-australia-that-japanese-whalers-are-illegal-in-australian-terri-1316
Statement from Humane Society International, the organization that successfully took the Japanese whalers to court
and received a court order banning the Japanese whalers from Australian Territorial waters:
Under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, it is an offense for a whaling vessel
to operate anywhere inside Australia’s 200 nautical mile EEZ, not just within our 12 nautical mile territorial waters.
HSI therefore maintains that the Shonan Maru No 2 was always in breach of the Act while it was inside Australia’s EEZ
and therefore should have been apprehended at this stage. Similarly, the incursion of the Yushin Maru No 3
into our waters off Macquarie Island is also a breach of the Act, and of great concern given the World Heritage listing of this sub-Antarctic area.
HSI is very pleased to hear that the three whale activists detained on board the ship will now be released.
