We owe it to our children to be better stewards of the environment, ... The alternative? -- a world without whales. It's too terrible to imagine.
Pierce Brosnan
Sadly, as is the case with many stranded whales and dolphins, a combination of factors was likely to be the cause of death. Those factors include severe dehydration, some muscle damage, and reduction in kidney function. The animal, once entering the North Sea, would not have been able to feed, and this is the likely cause of the dehydration.
Paul Jepson
People need to know that right whales are in the area for the next couple of weeks. They need to put that on their checklists of things they have to think about when operating vessels in that area.
Barb Zoodsma
It's been a Mexican stand-off in continual bad weather, but today is fine. If your business is hunting whales, today is a good day for it.
Shane Rattenbury
It's really too dangerous to have people in the sea with the whales.
John Mason Brown
Locally, the big fish eat the little fish, and then you have these huge whales out there. If the new bank is profitable, chances are it's being looked at.
Scott Alaniz
They are seeing whales on just about every single trip.
John Devore
One of our concerns is the pollution that's accumulating in whales.
Brent Plater
Both whales were pretty good at it. They caught a sea gull once every 20 days or so.
Michael Noonan
The whales are so many. They eat all the smaller fish and we fish all the smaller fish.
Oscar Robertson
Whales only get harpooned when they come to the surface, and turtles can only move forward when they stick their neck out, but investors face risk no matter what they do.
Charles A. Jaffe
We'll look at water temperature, salinity and even chlorophyll growth. Ultimately, what we hope is to be able to identify a certain water mass and know that it will lead to chlorophyll growth and an abundance of plankton, and that the whales will soon appear.
David K. Mellinger
We finally have, after decades of thinking that they were functionally extinct, some hope of protecting Pacific right whales.
Brent Plater
He was able to assess that the situation was life threatening there was some line trailing out of the whale's mouth 25 feet of line and two buoys.
Naomi Mcintosh
It is a set of symptoms that have never before been seen in marine mammals. That physical evidence has led scientists to understand that the sonar is injuring the whales in addition to causing them to strand.
Michael Jasny
Whales have two things to do, eat and look for something to eat, ... So they cruise from kelp bed to kelp bed and then move on.
Morris Graves
Whales are humanity's canary in the coal mine, ... As ocean pollution levels increase, marine mammals like whales will be among the first to go.
Roger Payne
It was once believed that most animal behavior, from the food they ate to the places they slept, was based on instinct. This new discovery supports the growing view that animals like killer whales are very prone to learning by imitation, and that they are 'cultural' in nature.
Michael Noonan
This isn't a hunt that's going to kill just four or five gray whales. The repercussions of this will have an effect on tens of thousands of whales that will be killed by the Japanese and Norwegians.
Paul Watson
The way to save the whales is to stop doing the things that hurt them and also to start putting the system back together again. We need to restore the habitat and protect it.
Kathy Fletcher
I can assure you no whales are going to be killed today.
Paul Watson
This is a victory for sound science, the killer whales, and the people of the Pacific Northwest. However, if Congress continues on its path to gut the Endangered Species Act, the best tools available to protect the killer whale will be ripped right out of the hands of the scientists and resource managers in the Pacific Northwest.
Brent Plater
Right whales don't typically go into real warm water. Being in the Gulf of Mexico in March and April, we knew they had to go south [to warmer water] before they could go north. But lo and behold, those animals made it out of there and later were seen where they were supposed to be.
Barb Zoodsma
As much as animals like elephants are currently under threat in Central Africa, whales, manatees and turtles, to name a few, are probably in far more dire peril -- and almost nobody knows.
Peter Walsh
One of great threats facing marine mammals in the ocean is acoustic pollution - noise pollution - which is impeding the whales' ability to find food and communicate with each other.
Brent Plater
The world today will either be stepping forward into an era where conservation and the environment really matter, or it will be stepping back into the Dark Ages, where the people of the world think that slaughter of whales using grenades, electric lances and shooting them with rifles is something that we should accept.
Brian Campbell
Taking five whales a year would not have any biological impact on the population.
Brian Gorman
The Makahs are hardly responsible for what somebody else does. The Makah have a clear right (under an 1855 treaty) to hunt gray whales.
Brian Gorman
He was a legendary character. He dwarfed the other guys (noted whales the Sultan of Brunei and Adnan Khashoggi , the arms dealer). Kerry played higher, and he played for 40 years.
Bobby Baldwin
Northern bottlenose whales normally feed on deep-water squid in the Atlantic Ocean. This animal would not have been able to feed while in the North Sea and so would have become dehydrated.
Paul Jepson
The Thames whale has demonstrated the tremendous interest and wonder expressed in whales and dolphins by the global public, and hopefully highlights the need and desire to conserve wildlife species in general.
Paul Jepson
Creation is all things and us. It is us in relationship with all things. All things, the ones we see and the ones we do not; the whirling galaxies and the wild suns, the black holes and the microorganisms, the trees and the stars, the fish and the whales - the molten lava and the towering snow-capped mountains, the children we give birth to and their children, and theirs, and theirs, and theirs.
Matthew Fox
It seems as though the whales are much more engaged in surface activity.
Chris Reid
It's long overdue. Listing orca whales is kind of like listing Puget Sound as endangered. We have no more time to lose.
Kathy Fletcher
I have seen a lot of whale watching operations, quite a few of which were very irresponsible, but I was quite impressed with the local whale watching. They didn't harass the whales, they didn't approach the whales. They waited for the whales to come to them.
Paul Watson
America loves the representation of its heroes to be not just larger than life, but stupendously, awesomely bigger than anything else. If blue whales built statues to each other they'd be smaller then these.
Simon Hoggart
Every hour that the fleet is on the run, more whales will live.
Shane Rattenbury
Any major change to convention regulations requires a three-fourths vote. Japan has a quarter block over the minority on most issues. That creates an uphill hurdle when it comes to increasing or decreasing protection for whales.
Karen Steuer
If you were to make little fishes talk, they would talk like whales.
Oliver Goldsmith
While the Sanctuary has been most associated with whales and whale watching, it also serves as a steward of the submerged historical and cultural resources within its boundaries. We are extremely proud that our first dedicated mission to search and explore has produced such exciting results.
Craig Macdonald
That's the most poignant thing of our season. There are no whales here to speak of.
Chris Slay
This population of right whales is one of the most endangered populations of large mammals anywhere in the world. This is our white rhino. This is our giant panda.
Chris Slay
Almost 1 000 whales, dolphins and porpoises die every day in nets and fishing gear. That's one every two minutes.
Dr Susan Lieberman
I must down to the seas again to the vagrant gypsy life,To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's o.
John Masefield
Simply by watching them, you can't know whether whales are male or female, their age, whether they are able to breed, or whether they are pregnant.
Hideki Moronuki
We had visions of untamed wilderness, soaring bald eagles and humpback whales flapping their tails in the water. Thankfully, we were not disappointed.
Eron Garcia
There are 83 species of whales and dolphins (and porpoises) we know almost nothing about.
Erich Hoyt
Gray whales feed by sucking mud into their mouths, spitting out the mud and catching amphipods and crustaceans in the process.
