Commercial whaling in Japan

Photo taken May 21, 2020, shows Oinaoshi fishing port in Muroran in Hokkaido, northern Japan. A Japanese whaling association is considering bringing back a whaling station to the port after Japan resumed commercial whaling in July 2019 following a 31-year hiatus, which ended with the country's withdrawal from the International Whaling Commission.

    Bottom Trawling

    Bottom Trawling

    Fishermen are working on a fishing boat in the Port of Molfetta, Italy, on January 18, 2024. (Photo by Davide Pischettola/NurPhoto) Research currently being published in Frontiers in Marine Science is showing that bottom trawling, which involves the use of huge fishing nets dragged along the seabed, not only poses a danger to the conservation of animal and plant species living in the ocean depths but is also eroding this valuable storage system, causing the release of significant amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year. The Commission's Action Plan is clearly demonstrating that its sole goal is to obstruct all fishing in the name of an ecological idealism that borders on extremism. It is absurd once again to impose restrictions on a sector that is among the hardest hit by recent global crises, even going as far as to arbitrarily ban trawling, which is the only source of livelihood in many coastal areas.
