It’s a small industry that conservationists say is inhumane, hasminimal economic benefits, and defies the international ban on killing whales. But the Icelandic governmentannounced it will allow up to 2,000 whales to be killed in the next five years.A Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture statement said a maximum of 209 fin whales and 217 minke whales canbe killed each year between 2018 and 2025.Iceland’s Fisheries Minister said the new whale quotas are sustainable andbased on research from the nation’s Marine Research Institute and the University of Iceland.But activists and conservationists disagree. The Icelandic Environmental Association criticized the research onwhich the Fisheries Ministry based its quotas. And Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC), an organization aimed atprotecting whales around the world, said whaling is no longer beneficial to Iceland’s economy and lacks publicsupport.A report from the University of Iceland said whale watching contributed $13.4 million to the economy, while thewhale hunting company Hval hf. Contributed $8.4 million. According to the report, more people are employed inwhale watching than in whaling, but wages are higher in whale hunting. WDC argues that instead of relying upon itsown science, Iceland needs to listen to worldwide calls to stop whaling.
