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.
The development of a large whaling industry in New England was driven by several factors, including the region's geographic location, which provided access to rich whaling grounds in the North Atlantic. The demand for whale oil for lighting and lubrication during the Industrial Revolution further fueled the industry. Additionally, advancements in shipbuilding and navigation technology enabled longer and more efficient whaling voyages. The cultural and economic context of maritime communities in New England also supported the growth of whaling as a lucrative enterprise.
