Aside from being an immense and incredible animal, the blue whale is endangered as a result of historical whaling and modern whaling, collisions with ships, and changes in the ocean chemistry due to increased amounts of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere.

It is important to note that most whale populations have not nearly recovered from the effects of historical whaling, especially whaling in the nineteenth century .
