66th Meeting of the International Whaling Commission


The 66th meeting of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) kicked-off in Portorož today, hosted by the Republic of Slovenia.

In addition to some 400 delegates from the IWC member states from around the world, many non-governmental organisations from the field of whale conservation are also participating. Morigenos, as a Slovenian non-governmental organization studying whales and dolphins along the Slovenian coast and in the northern Adriatic, is participating in various accompanying events such as the meeting of the IWC Conservation Committee, while the president of Morigenos Tilen Genov is also a member of the IWC Scientific Committee. As part of the meeting, Morigenos organised a photographic exhibition on dolphins in the Gulf of Trieste. This year the delegates received a special gift from Slovenia, a collection of special post stamps “Dolphins and whales of the northern Adriatic”, prepared by Morigenos.

This year's conference will be held in the light of the 30th anniversary of the ban on commercial whaling. The moratorium, which was adopted in 1986, is a great success story and has saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of whales worldwide. It is therefore vital that the moratorium is maintained and that it is also fully respected. Other threats to whales and dolphins, such as ship strikes, by-catch, underwater noise, chemical pollution and marine litter, will also be at the forefront of the discussions. 

66. zasedanje Mednarodne komisije za kitolov


Danes se je Portorožu pričelo 66. zasedanje Mednarodne komisije za kitolov (International Whaling Commission – IWC), ki ga gosti Republika Slovenija. 

Poleg okoli 400 delegatov držav članic IWC z vsega sveta se dogodka udeležujejo tudi številne nevladne organizacije, ki si prizadevajo za izboljšano varstvo kitov. Društvo Morigenos, kot lokalna nevladna organizacija, ki se ukvarja s preučevanjem kitov in delfinov ob slovenski obali in v Tržaškem zalivu, sodeluje pri mnogih spremljevalnih dejavnostih in sestankih kot je npr. srečanje Varstvenega odbora IWC, Tilen Genov, predsednik društva Morigenos, pa je tudi član Znanstvenega odbora IWC. Društvo Morigenos je v okviru dogodka pripravilo razstavo fotografij delfinov ob slovenski obali, udeleženci zasedanja pa so kot darilo prejeli tudi kolekcijo znamk »Delfini in kiti severnega Jadrana«, ki jo je pripravilo društvo Morigenos.

Letošnja konferenca bo potekala v luči 30. obletnice prepovedi komercialnega kitolova. Moratorij, ki je bil sprejet leta 1986, je velika zgodba o uspehu in je rešil življenja več sto tisoč kitov po vsem svetu. Zato je ključno, da se moratorij ohrani in da se ga tudi v celoti spoštuje. V ospredju razprav bodo tudi druge grožnje kitom, kot so trčenja z ladjami, prilov, podvodni hrup, kemično onesnaženje in morski odpadki.
