Canada cutting back on harvest is good for U.S. fishermen, fish and Whales.
Habitat improvements will also help.
Increased hatchery production is good for fishermen and Whales. It will be good for fish as soon as we start moving our hatcheries off the spawning grounds.
We will have to remain vigilant to stop the proposed closure areas like we are seeing in Canada.
As for the Whales themselves, I think the concern is a little overboard. JK and L pods had 71 whales in 1976 and have 76 now.
