The 1855 Treaty of Neah Bay let Makah in Washington State hunt whales. Low stocks stopped them in the 1920s but recovered by the 1980s. In 1996 they sought an International Whaling Commission quota for nutritional subsistence, also known as aboriginal whaling. The industrial whaling countries of Japan and Norway supported them, but most ...

While hunting these hogs used to be legal everywhere in Missouri, state conservation organizations are now taking a more targeted approach to trapping and killing large groups of these hogs at once.
Whaling voyages were risky and expensive, and most expeditions failed. But when they succeeded, the returns were outsized and able to offset the deluge of defeats.
The number of whales caught rose each year, until the American whaling industry produced another record amount of whale oil in 1846, after which the whale hunting deteriorated . The increasing number of whaling ships partly compensated for the lower catch per ship each year, but the fleet could never again match the record catch of 1846.
