- 12 years ago
Pro- and anti-whaling nations are meeting in the British island of Jersey to consider the future of the International Whaling Commission (IWC).
Anti-whaling protestors gathered outside the 63rd convention of the IWC. The 89-nation body is deeply divided.While some member nations are pushing to enforce a ban, others have strong whaling traditions.
Iceland is one of the few nations where whaling still takes place and is an important tourist industry.
