Next week, the 62nd meeting of the International Whaling Commission takes place in Agadir, Morocco. The main issue facing the voting members will be for a compromise on an IWC ad hoc proposal, which would allow Japan, Norway and Iceland to hunt openly despite a moratorium on commercial whaling, but put their programs under strict IWC monitoring and aim for sharp reductions in their catch over 10 years.

This could be a very interesting event.
