Following the invention of the
explosive harpoon in 1864, the whaling industry became so ruthless
and efficient that species after species were decimated, hunted
almost to extinction.
Now the world's remaining whales
face a new threat - drift nets. Developed by fishermen out
of a desire to secure ever-increasing profit margins, drift
nets have proved to be one of the most destructive fishing
practices of all time. Referred to as walls of death, drift
nets catch everything in their path and play havoc with the
ocean's ecology and natural harmony.
If you adopt a whale we can help to protect
these wonderful animals.
