		<title>To Save or Not To Save the Whales</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems somewhat unfathomable to me that here in 2010, this is still an open question! Yet, on the eve of what will be a critical meeting of the International Whaling Commission in Morocco beginning on June 21, the fate of whales still hangs in the balance.
One thing that is maddening about this proposed compromise [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stopping the slaughter &#8211; what can we do?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been hearing from several friends that they are also frustrated with the current state of whaling affairs, and want to know how to help. So this post is designed to suggest some actions we can all take. It will not be exhaustive, but hopefully will prove to be a useful starting place.
There are three [...]]]></description>

		<title>The &#8220;Killer&#8221; Whale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, my deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Dawn Brancheau. She was clearly a dedicated and well loved person and she will be missed by many.
I&#8217;ve been following a lot of the stories and commentary about this latest incident of a captive orca&#8217;s killing a human trainer. Not surprisingly, that leads to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two MILLION Whales Killed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s think about that sobering number for a moment.
2,000,000 &#8211; two MILLION whales &#8211; killed in the 20th century.
That&#8217;s a lot of whales. Present populations of different species vary around the world, with some like the Atlantic grey whale&#8217;s being completely gone, the Pacific grey whale and North Atlantic right whale very close to it. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Escalating whale wars</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is probably blog post # 567,893 on this topic since the destruction of the Ady Gil in the Antarctic. The internet has been abuzz with postings: news, videos, opinion pieces all over the map. Here&#8217;s one more.

		<title>Missed whales and dead whales</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is getting close to the end of October and that means the end of the whale watching season here in the Northeast US. I had hoped to get out one more time before the end, but weather and budget are getting in the way.  Sighting reports have dropped as well, so it seems [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wherefore Art Thou, Whales?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a nearly 3 month gap since my last whale watch, I was downright itching to go out again and finally made it on Oct. 5. Following the Whale Center and Capt Bill and Sons on Twitter all summer, with numerous updates about spectacular whale watching, just whetted the appetite all the more. 
So with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reversing the Bad Numbers, Increasing Good Ones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite sites to check for new stories about whales is at the Underwater Times.  Today, they posted a story about Britain&#8217;s protesting to Iceland about their whaling.  Despite a glut of whale meat, Iceland&#8217;s government has actually increased the quota of whales allowed to be killed by their whaling fleet. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Whale Watching Vs. Whaling, and the IWC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The annual meeting of the International Whaling Commission has recently concluded in Portugal and, as in previous years, not a lot seems to have been accomplished.  Japan and other countries are still pushing for &#8220;legitimate&#8221; whaling quotas, and there&#8217;s a new contingent &#8211; Inuits in Greenland &#8211; who are seeking leave to hunt 50 [...]]]></description>
