Talk given at the University of Peniche, Portugal. The theme of the caucus was “emerge and submerged”. There were various talks around different subjects, such as fisheries, artificial aquariums, genetics, animals affected by petroleum, and 3 speeches on marine mammals. I was presenting such a topic, “The International Whaling Commission – History, Corruption and Possible Solutions”. Insight was given of the NGO work on the theme, strategies, actions and aims. Emphasis was also given at the current situation of the IWC that may jeopardizes its future, Japan and its loophole along with the still unsustainable whaling taking place in the world’s ocean is cause of much concern. Some videos and images were shown to illustrate situations and processes. The public showed interest in the theme and many questions were made in the end.
