whaling quotas

Whaling quotas are limits set on the number of whales that can be hunted by specific countries or groups during a given period, usually a year. These quotas are established to balance whaling activities with the conservation of whale populations. They are determined based on scientific assessments of whale populations and their health to ensure that whaling does not lead to the extinction of species. Quotas aim to allow for sustainable whaling practices while protecting marine biodiversity and ensuring that both cultural and economic needs are met without harming whale populations.
