Prohibition of whaling is very influential in raising the number of mammal populations that. In 1996, according to the research park, there are only 242 humpback whales. Currently, the population of whales has reached 7 thousand heads. So it is easier to see a herd animal.
“We may not be able to see this herd at the beginning and end of the season, but there is a chance of 99 percent in the middle of the season, we could see them,” said Richard Ford, owner of Whale Watching Sydney. He provides services to Sydney whale watching since ten years ago.
Japan is currently trying to lobby the International Whaling Council to allow whaling (Whaling) commercial.
Japanese ships hunting minke whales in the South Seas for research reasons, but apparently there are 5 thousand tons of whale meat sold in fish markets. This makes the Australian Government was not happy.
The protests continued from Australian activist ship, Sea Shepherd, leading Japanese shorten the hunting season this year its pope. The result, “only” 506 whales captured from the target 850, according to the ABC report.
Australia has been filed in an international court on whaling in the South Seas. But the verdict of the new Hague will be out in 2013.
