A Brief History of Whaling

Although anyone who has experienced American education system has heard of Beluga, the main element of this epic - the whaling industry is not so famous. To fully understand and appreciate this wonderful work, I think it is important to understand the industry surrounding it. This is particularly true because whaling is a prominent and important aspect of the 19th century culture.

In short, the talk of whaling is one after another. The group is rapidly depleted and sometimes even extinct. Economic value of whales raises obvious problems: the reason not to try to harvest whales in a sustainable way. Overfishing is the biggest threat to global marine biodiversity and the latest information on US fishery can be used as an example of the severity of the problem. Congress has requested the National Marine and Fisheries Department (NMFS) to periodically report on the status of all fisheries where the main population lies within the country's exclusive economic zone (EEZ). (In addition to the territorial waters, each coastal state can set up an exclusive economic zone of 370 km from the coast.In exclusive economic zones, coastal states will use and manage fisheries and benefit them I have the right to do various activities.)

Whales are useful items for whale fishing such as meat, fat and fat. Its initial form can be traced back to about 3000 BC. The coastal communities all over the world have a long history of capturing live whales and harvesting marginalized whales. Industrial whaling appeared as an organized fleet in the 17th century, the competitive national whaling industry from the 18th century to the 19th century, the introduction of factory ships and the concept of whale fishing in the first half of the 20th century. By the end of the 1930s, more than 50,000 whales died each year in 1986, and the International Whaling Commission (IWC) banned commercial whaling as most whale populations were extremely depleted.

The prosperous whaling industry (which accounts for the majority of the causes of death of various whale species) emerged around the 17th century. Due to increased demand for whale oil and other commodities and technological advances, whale cuffs captured more whale resources. . More frequently. As a result, the number of whales has decreased, it is necessary to take new policies, regulations and legal measures to prevent further whale death, and in 1931 to monitor and monitor the whaling industry to prevent endangered species International agreement reached among countries.
