  • Sink Or Swim : the Economics of Whaling Today
    Sink or Swim : The Economics of Whaling Today A Summary Report produced by WWF and WDCS Based on a study by Economics for the Environment Consultancy (eftec) Published in June 2009 eftec report written by Dr Rob Tinch and Zara Phang A copy of the full report by eftec can be found on both WWF and WDCS websites - http://www.panda.org/iwc http://www.wdcs.org/publications.php "The whaling industry, like any other industry, has to obey the market. If there is no profitability, there is no foundation for resuming with the killing of whales." Einar K. Guðfinsson, former Minister of Fisheries, Iceland, 2007 BACKGROUND Whales have been hunted commercially for centuries. Historically, the main demand was for oil made from their blubber, which was used for fuel. In 1946, the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling (ICRW) was signed, subsequently establishing the International Whaling Commission (IWC) to regulate whaling and conserve whale stocks. The IWC started out essentially as a whalers’ club, with only 15 members, all of which were whaling nations. It had no provisions to detect and punish over-hunting and it paid scant attention to the sustainability of whaling. The results were disastrous for whales. Some species, such as blue and right whales, were hunted to near extinction; reduced to less than 5 per cent of their original population abundance. Yet it must be seen in the context of its time, which far pre-dated any environmental or conservation treaties, or awareness of the need to utilise wild species sustainably. In 1982, a growing conservation movement within the IWC secured a ban on commercial whaling.

  • 1St Invitation
    th 20 MEETING OF THE INTERNATIONAL ICE CHARTING WORKING GROUP September 23-27, 2019 – Nordatlantens Brygge, Copenhagen, Denmark May 23, 2019 Greetings from the IICWG Co-Chairs; This is your invitation to attend the 20th Meeting of the International Ice Charting Working Group (IICWG-XX). This year’s meeting is being hosted in Copenhagen, Denmark, by the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) during September 23-27. The theme for this year’s meeting is “Responsive Ice Services: Innovating Science and Service for a Changing Environment”. Since 1999, the IICWG has successfully worked as a forum for the operational ice services and helped them to better meet the needs of their national and international maritime clients through coordination and cooperation in data sharing, standards, training, product development, and research activities. The annual meeting has proven to be a valuable opportunity for national ice services to meet, along with their partners and clients, to discuss and coordinate work on issues facing operational ice monitoring and forecasting today and in the years to come. The IICWG is an advisory body to the JCOMM Expert Team on Sea Ice and coordinates its activities with the WMO Executive Council Panel of Experts on Polar and High Mountain Observations, Research and Services. Agenda (see attached) The dramatic changes taking place in the waters affected by floating ice are having a major impact on the operational ice services, as well as their clients. The information needs of the maritime community are evolving rapidly. At the same time, advances in earth observation, information technology, machine learning, and computer modelling promise new and innovative opportunities to serve those needs.

  • Is Whaling Sustainable in Norway?
    Is whaling sustainable in Norway? Introduction Whale hunting or” whaling” has been a common practice in several countries across the globe and has been practiced for centuries. Whaling was at its height in the beginning of the 20th century, when whaling was a highly lucrative business. However, whaling in this time was not well regulated, and resulted in a typical “tragedy of the commons” scenario, where a wild hunt for whales and an overexploiting, resulted in several stocks being depleted. One example is the blue whale in the Antarctic Ocean, where the population of whales reduced from 150-200,000 to about 5-10,000 whales by 1965. (Lamberson & Clark , 1982). This drastic change in several whale stocks, ultimately led to the International Whaling Commission (IWC), an intergovernmental organization created in 1946 for regulating whaling, adopted a global “moratorium on whale hunting” in 1982 (Sigvaldsson, 1996). This moratorium called for a pause for all commercial whaling worldwide from 1986 and onward, however both Norway and Iceland filed an official objection to this decision (International Whaling Commission, u.d.). In 1993, Norway, under Prime minister Brundtland, once again started commercial whaling, arguing it was sustainable (The Norwegian Government, 2018). It was in fact Brundtland who introduced the term “sustainable development” in the report “Our Common Future” from 1987. In this report, the definition of Sustainable development “is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987, p.41 ). Thus if applied to whaling, we can understand sustainable whaling as the process of hunting whales while preserving the stock that does not endanger its existence.

    IN-COUNTRY GUIDE Norway Overview Norway (officially the Kingdom of Norway, Kongeriket Norge), is a constitutional monarchy in Scandinavia, currently headed by King Harald V and governed by Prime Minister Erna Solberg. Despite its people rejecting membership of the EU (European Union) in two separate referendums, it maintains close economic and trade relationships with the EU. Norway has large reserves of oil and natural gas, and an advanced hydropower industry. Its healthy economy and large financial reserves has resulted in Norway consistently being ranked as having one of the highest standards of living in the world, which makes it no surprise that Norway attracts many expatriate workers.

  • Whaling in Norway by Helen Linea Aall, 2019
    Whaling in Norway By Helen Linea Aall, 2019 Whales in Norway: • 21 species Whales Hunted: • Minke whales Whale meat consumed in Norway: • Less than 5% of the Norwegian Population (mostly older people) consumes whale meat. • In the northern parts of Norway, whale meat is a tradition and usually served with potatoes. • The Norwegian government is trying to make whale meat a “trend” by promoting it at big and popular restaurants around the country, as well as during music and food festivals. • The Government has recently tried to enforce the use of whale meat for school children. • Tourists are being offered whale meat on cruise ships and at restaurants. • Tourist demand on whale meat has dropped from 40% in 2009, to 10% in 2018. Other Use of Whale Meat: • Food for minks and foxes in Norwegian fur farms. In 2014, more than 113 tons of whale meat -equivalent to the amount of marketable meat from 75 minke whales- was delivered to Rogaland Pelsdyrfôrlaget, the largest manufacturer of animal feed for the Norwegian fur industry. • Shipped to Japan, Faroe Islands and Iceland. • Food (steaks, sushi and burgers). • Other parts of the Whales are being used in cosmetics, vitamin supplements, protein powder and some pet foods. Photo 1: Whale protein powder, whale energy drinks and whale oil skin cream — which claims to prevent scarring, heal sunburn and repair bad skin — are all sold in Norway.
