Last night, in International Waters, the Icelandic Coast Guard seized the Bandero, removing the Captain Paul Watson Foundation's conservation vessel from the front lines of Operation 86 after weeks of pursuing Iceland's commercial whaling fleet, conducted by Kristján Loftsson's company, Hvalur hf.

Throughout the campaign, the Bandero was closely monitored by the Icelandic Coast Guard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6MUi-tH_Rs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Lccjb05F9c #whaling #whales #CPWF #WWF #sea #SeaShepherd #climate

End commercial #whaling
In 1982, the IWC agreed to set all commercial catch limits to zero, effectively banning commercial whaling from 1986. Commonly known as the moratorium., the ban remains in place today.

Despite the moratorium, the governments of three countries – Japan, Norway and Iceland – chose to allow continued hunting of #whales, killing more than 45,000 whales since 1986.

#Whaling may have started 1,500 years earlier than already known
Evidence for early whaling in #Brazil shows that #Indigenous people hunted #whales 5,000 years ago
The findings not only rewrite the origins of whaling, but also suggest that #humpbackwhales once lived outside their modern range. Until now, scientists believed organized whaling originated between 3,500-2,500 years ago in the Arctic and North Pacific, driven by food scarcity in extreme northern environments.
