Show detail Hide detail

WHALE MISSION is a two-part documentary series about whales, and how they are both protected and threatened by humans. The program deals with the impact of the commercial whaling industry and efforts by the International Whaling Commission (IWC) to regulate and control the industry. While member nations of the IWC contemplate on whether to resume commercial hunting of one of the world's largest mammals, dedicated scientists work hard to save the last remaining right whales. Almost wiped out in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the northern right whale is the planet's most endangered large-whale species. It is a survivor of the largest commercial depletion of an ocean resource and today there are fewer than 350 of them left. New evidence from genetic studies suggests, however, that there are more whales out there. Aboard the ocean-going sailing ship Sedna IV, scientists embark on a humanitarian-scientific mission in search of the last remaining whales. They follow the ancient route of early whalers on an historic expedition around the remote Cape Farewell whaling grounds in the vast watery wilderness that is North Atlantic Ocean. This water conceals many mysteries and, possibly, some new whales. <52mn>
