papers and flushed around (he world on television
It was a masterful manipulation of the media, and
entire groups started to spring up with only one
purpose, to save the whales While the c onserva
tion organizations were produc ing articles having
rallies and c ollet ting signatures, more radical ele
ments were beginning to marshal iheir forces
This was the |>eriod of the* anti-war movement in
the United States, and it was c tear — at least to some
people — that working within the* system was not
the way to get things done
With tin- passage of Ihe Marini* Mammmal Pro
les lion Ac t hy the U S. Congress in 1972. the Unit
ed States officially retired from the whaling busi
ness and public lv dedic atecl itself to the
c onservation and prntec lion of all marine mammals
The l !.S |Mtsition on whale conservation was fur
ther strengthened by the passage of the two addi
tional pies es of legislation, the Pellv and the Pac k
wood-Magnuson amendments, which were
designed to enhance the economic sand ions against
those nations that diminished the effee tiveness of
the t‘M6 Whaling Convention
Today, President Bill Clinton has to decide if
he wants the United States to force these amend
ments upon Norway, or acknowledge the new catc h
es. Boye ott ac tions and insulting attacks singles! out
againsl one nation are a very serious matter in itself
When such actions are repeated often enough, the
public may have difficulties in evaluating what is
right and w rong
No country has ever boycotted or sanctioned the
t mted States for the aboriginal subsistence whal
ing in Alaska, where the Eskimos harvest the how
head or Greenland right whale in much the same
way their ancestors have for at least 1.000 years.
This kind of whaling has long been a problem for
the IWC. in relation to the moratorium and spe
i tal quotas At the IWC meeting in June 1077, the
Scientific Committee recommended that a morato
rium should be declared on all harvest, because the
bowhead whale was near extinction The IWC
adopted this recommendation and asked the U.S
government to enforce the ban on Eskimo whal
ing but the United States sided with the Eskimos,
requesting the aboriginal catches be continued based
on subsistence and cultural needs.
With far lietter knowledge on the status of many
whale stocks than just several years ago, the whale
conservation movement needs now to decide
whether all stocks of whales should lie totally pro
tected
Meanwhile. Norway will continue with minke
whaling, conducted on the basis of fair and rea
sonable catch limits, ensuring sustainable man
agement in accordance with the principles adopted
at the United Nations Conference for Environment
and Development
For the IWC, the next year will la- a turning point
where the commission will have to form a policy
on future whale conservation and management. The
assessments of the Scientific Committee of the IWC
included a draft-revised management procedure
that allows for the resumption of commercial small
type minke whaling in the northeast Atlantic, but
the complete procedure is not yet finalized
