Japan resumes commercial whaling after 3 decades.
Five small Japanese whaling ships set sail for the first time in more than three decades Monday following that country's controversial decision to resume the hunt for the huge marine mammal.
Neither species is listed as endangered or threatened in the U.S. by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.an international organization that deals with whale conservation and management of whaling, in a move that sparked global condemnation. "Japan has been whaling in their own waters every single year, despite the moratorium on whaling in 1986," Sea Shepherd, an international non-profit marine wildlife conservation organization, told NBC News on Monday."The only difference now is that Japan withdrew from IWC last year, finally paving the way for the commission to become focused on conservation.
Whales are directly affected by climate change, plastic pollution, oil exploration, industrial fishing and habitat loss, the organization said.
