There are couple of conservation efforts going on at the moment.
The Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Team was established to
develop a plan to reduce the incidental serious injury and
mortality of fin whales, right whales, humpback whales, and minke
whales in the South Atlantic shark gillnet fishery, the Gulf of
Maine and Mid-Atlantic lobster trap/pot fishery, the Mid-Atlantic
gillnet fishery, and the Gulf of Maine sink gillnet fishery. As
well, Sea Shepherd is leading the effort to defend and protect fin
whales from the harpoons of the illegal Japanese whalers in the
Antarctic.
