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.

What caused the whaling industry to decline?

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.
