Will whale hunting resume?

Since the 1980s there’s been an international moratorium on commercial whale hunting. The International Whaling Commission (IWC) – the folks in charge of managing whales globally – also refer to it as a ‘pause’ in whaling, presumably to make it clear that it could start up again. And yes, it could, if members of the IWC vote for it. But are they going to?
That’s one of the questions I put to the secretary and head of science from the IWC in the September 2011 episode of the Naked Oceans podcast.
Tune in hear what they said on that and lots of other issues in present-day whale conservation and management.
