Iceland says it will end whaling from 2024 amid dwindling demand and continuing controversy
"There are few justifications to authorize whale hunting beyond 2024," when current quotas expire, Minister of Fisheries and Agriculture Svandís Svavarsdóttir said in an op-ed in Friday's Morgunblaðið newspaper.The minister wrote it was"undisputed" that whale hunting had not had much economic significance to Iceland in recent years, with no big whale caught in the last three years, except for one minke whale in 2021.
According to the IWC, whose purpose is"to provide for the proper conservation of whale stocks and thus make possible the orderly development of the whaling industry," Iceland continued a small"scientific whaling program" after the 1986 embargo.Iceland left the IWC in 1992 but rejoined in 2002, this time taking out a"reservation" against the embargo.
