dc.description.abstract | Within the IWC context, Greenland’s hunt of large whales falls in the category of Aboriginal
Subsistence Whaling (ASW) together with the whaling of the Russian Federation, St. Vincent
and The Grenadines and the USA.
For aboriginal subsistence whaling the IWC has the following objectives:
- ensure risks of extinction not seriously increased (highest priority);
- enable harvests in perpetuity appropriate to cultural and nutritional requirements;
- maintain stocks at highest net recruitment level and if below that ensure they move
towards it.
The Greenland hunt for large whales respects those objectives. | en_US |
