The Danish Navy vessel, HDMS Triton attempts to block the view of the arrest of the Sea Shepherd crew from the Sam Simon.
Campaign leader Rosie Kunneke and crew member Christophe Bondue were handcuffed and removed from the beach, and two crew members have been arrested. They were over two miles away and did not break the law by approaching within a mile of the whales, but the Navy said they had the authority to extend the distance to two miles to justify their arrest.
