How would banning whale hunting effect the economy of countries?

- A moratorium on all commercial whaling has been in place since 1986. It was established by the International Whaling Commission. So for all intents and purposes commercial whaling is already banned.
- Iceland, Norway, and Japan continue to defy the moratorium. However, the whaling industries in these nations are often propped up with government subsidies.
- Whaling is not a significant contributor to the economic success of any of the three nations that kill whales on an industrial scale. In fact, even in these countries, the consumer demand for whale meat has consistently declined for decades.
- The expense of whale meat is not simply measured in the cost of production. Whaling negatively affects the national image and risks public backlash in the form of consumer boycotts.
In conclusion, banning whale hunting in Iceland, Norway, and Japan would temporarily negatively affect the small number of workers already in the industry but would only have a negligible impact on their economies overall. On a positive note, tax-funded subsidies could be ended immediately and eco-tourism (a fast growing and profitable modern industry) could provide much greater revenue than whaling.
