Two officers from the Sea Shepherd Faley Mowat face charges for being too close to Canadian seal pup killers.
Captain Alexander Cornelissen and First Officer Peter Hammarstedt are alleged to have broken rules that prohibit anyone from coming within 900 metres of the hunt unless they have an observer's permit.
Cornelissen has also been charged under the Fisheries Act with obstruction or hindrance of a Fishery Officer or inspector.
If convicted, the two men could be jailed for up to one year, fined up to $100,000 -- or both.
