Australia are great at this. They manoeuvre their armoured and armed navy vessels between Japanese whalers and whales, then say "sure, go ahead and shoot your little harpoon, see what will happen".
They do this endlessly until the Japanese give up and go home.
They do this in International waters around Australia, and it's a huge point of pride among Australians.
