Greenpeace activists oppose whaling. Greenpeace believes that the whale watching industry will be more profitable (and environmentally beneficial) than the whaling industry. The organisation has stated that science does not justify killing whales.
Correct Answer: the whaling industry
Fishing, ship building, and the slave trade
whaling
Countries with a history of whaling include Norway, Japan, and Iceland, which have maintained commercial whaling practices. Additionally, the United States, particularly in Alaska, and countries like Canada and Russia have engaged in whaling, often for subsistence purposes. Historically, nations such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and the Netherlands also participated in whaling during the height of the industry. Today, many nations have shifted towards conservation efforts, leading to a decline in commercial whaling.
Yes; true
Main reasons would be the reduction of the global whale population and as a result, the 1986 ban on commercial whaling. However, countries like Japan is still doing but in past 6 years, Japan has failed to make a profit of their whaling industry due to a environmental activist non governmental organisation called Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and they have intervene their whaling by trying to reinforce the commercial whaling ban without the use of violence. For other countries, it is just to the fact that people aren't interested as much due to publicity with Japan's Whaling industry.
Melville chose to write about whaling because; Melville was in the industry himself. The industry was so significant because the oil from the whale's blubber was used for lighting and lubrication purposes. Also the bones were used for a variety of purposes that was very useful.
