The Excitement of Blue Whale Watching These whales are quite possibly the largest animal to ever live on the planer Earth on land or in the sea.

They can reach lengths of over 100 feet although typically they range from 75-80 feet in the Northern Hemisphere. Females are generally larger than males due to the need for extra weight for birthing and caring for the calf. Given the name Blue whale, these whales have an aqua blue hue when surfacing that seems to glow beneath the surface. They have a bluish grey top with a yellow or green colored belly from diatom growth (planktonic algae), which gave them the name “sulfur bottom” whale to early whalers. These whales are fast travelers and have a smooth appearance with no barnacles or parasites unlike other slower whale species like gray whales or humpbacks. Blue whales are one of a group of whales called rorquals which is classified by the presence of a dorsal fin and pleated throat grooves. Blue whales have a very small dorsal fin located about ¾ of the way back on their body and 60-90 throat grooves. A blue whale spout or blow can be seen for miles as it reaches nearly 20 feet into the air like a giant geyser.

Blue whales are found in every ocean all over the world however one of the largest populations can be seen from May-September off the California coast. It is thought that the blue whales migrate to the warmer waters off Costa Rica to mate and give birth. Blue whales give birth every 2-3 years There are around 2,000 blue whales in the Eastern Pacific population that range in a migration from Alaska to Costa Rica.

They feed throughout their range exclusively on krill.

In the summer months when warmer waters bring high productivity to our coast the krill are found in high density and the blue whales feast on them until

the water temperature starts to chill and they continue south towards Costa Rica.

Blue whales are baleen whales which feed extensively on krill. Baleen is a brush like structure on the inside of their mouth which is modified teeth used to trap krill inside their mouth like a sieve. The baleen is made of keratin, the same protein that makes our hair and fingernails. When blue whales feed they take giant mouthfuls of water and krill opening their throats like huge balloons and pushing the water out though the baleen with their tongue. With this eating method a single blue whale can consume up to 40 million krill or 4 tons in one day! This is also way it is uncommon to see multiple blue whales in the same area, there is simply just not enough food to go around so they spread themselves out. It is common to see them however in pairs which are most likely mother and calf couples. These whales are also extremely fast and can reach speeds of 30 mph if frightened but generally keep a speed of around 12 mph when cruising.

Because of their enormous weight they are rarely seen breaching or jumping but can be seen sounding or diving leaving a spectacular view of their fluke and a smooth spot where they dove called a foot print.

Blue whales were hunted to near extinction due to their size and value. A 90 foot blue whale would produce 120 barrels of whale oil in the early 1900’s and were killed by the thousands because of this. The hunting peaked in 1931 when nearly 30,000 whales

were killed in one season. Pre-whaling records estimated the world population to have been over 350,000 but the whaling effort killed off 99%. With the ban on hunting by the International Whaling Commission in 1966 and the Marine Mammal Protection Act in 1972, the population has been able to stabilize and maybe increase slowly in some areas. It is estimated that the current populations are around 5-10,000 in the southern hemisphere and only 3-4,000 in the northern hemisphere. Although whaling has stopped the populations are still presently threatened by global climate change, chemical pollutants like PCB’s and heavy metals. Human interference from abandoned fishing nets, plastic trash and sound pollution may increase their chances of boat strikes or drowning.

Veteran Riders Prove How To Get It Done in the $40,000 Blenheim Summer Grand Prix

Rusty Stewart Takes the First HITS Million Grand Prix Qualifier

It was a battle from the beginning as Hap Hansen and Rusty Stewart went head to head in today’s $40,000 Blenheim Summer Classic Grand Prix, presented by CardFlex Financial. The heat was on when Hansen rode the first clear ride under the adjusted time allowed of 90 seconds. Only five rounds later, the reliable Rusty Stewart posted the only other clear round, creating the match race.

Seven nations were represented in the fourteen round field today as they prepared for the reality check course set by designer Anthony D’Ambrosio.

“With only fourteen, I still wasn’t going to soften up,” D’Ambrosio commented. “I didn’t make the distances too difficult but the gymnastics of it were pretty complex.” Of the sixteen efforts, multiple riders found faults in the first of three double combinations. Other obstacles included a wide triple bar, a water jump, and a skinny vertical. Eighteen-year-old Guatemalan rider Ivonne Balz and mount Unique Star were the final pair to try to qualify for the jump-off.

Riding a flawless round leaving all the rails in the cups, Balz tripped the wire in 90.538 seconds, accruing one time fault, settling for third respectively.

Other obstacles included a wide triple bar, a water jump, and a skinny vertical. Eighteen-year-old Guatemalan rider Ivonne Balz and mount Unique Star were the final pair to try to qualify for the jump-off.

Riding a flawless round leaving all the rails in the cups, Balz tripped the wire in 90.538 seconds, accruing one time fault, settling for third respectively.

Hap Hansen and his mount Archie Bunker (owned by Linda Smith) were the first to return for the jump-off duel. Riding for his 100th Grand Prix win, Hansen guided Archie through two new obstacles, cut corners and galloped to the final fence to post the time to beat at 43.553 seconds. Stewart took the field knowing his mount Bristol could handle D’Ambrosio’s technical track, but also knew that one mistake could be costly. “Tony (D’Ambrosio) builds great courses.” Stewart nodded, “but they can be really hard to jump.” Stewart carefully guided Bristol over the two new obstacles, but once they were clear, he put his foot on the gas. Stewart had one scary rub on the second to last obstacle but was able to make it home in 41.826 seconds, good enough for the win.

“Based on the course, I thought there would only be a couple clear,” Stewart added. “It’s hard going against Hap (Hansen) though with that milestone on the line. All in all, I loved the course. It was definitely not a gimmy.” The $40,000 Blenheim Summer Classic Grand Prix was the first of seven HITS Million Grand Prix Qualifiers that Blenheim EquiSports hosts. Riders qualify based on grand prix prize money won in participating shows. Today’s track represented the type of experience needed and level of difficulty to which riders will face in all qualifiers to come. “I think we had a track that Blenheim represents, and that is a real Grand Prix course.” D’Ambrosio added, “The two gentlemen (Hansen and Stewart) proved that they knew their horses and understood horsemanship enough to come out on top.”

The competition shifts to the Del Mar Horse Park with two back-to-back weeks of top level action. The Showpark Summer Classic, August 22-26, will host the second HITS Million Grand Prix Qualifier with the $40,000 Showpark Summer Grand Prix, presented by California Horsetrader. The Showpark All Seasons Summer Classic, August 29-September 2, highlights the $32,000 Showpark Jumper Classic and the $50,000 Grand Prix of Showpark, presented

by EQU Lifestyle Magazine. The $50,000 Grand Prix of Showpark will mark the third HITS Million Grand Prix Qualifier and first of three World Cup Qualifying Grand Prix hosted by Blenheim EquiSports. Visit the Blenheim EquiSports website for up to date event information.

PACIFIC SYMPHONY’S SEASON OPENS with ONE OF CLASSICAL MUSIC’S MOST REVERED PIANISTS, ANDRÉ WATTS Pacific Symphony’s 34th season gets off to a magnificent start when special guest artist and longtime Symphony friend André Watts headlines the grand opening with a performance of Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2, led by Music Director Carl St.Clair, on Thursday through Saturday, Sept. 20-22, at 8 p.m. in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Franz Liszt once called Brahms’ Second Piano Concerto “a distinguished work of art in which thought and feeling move in noble harmony.” Separated by a gap of 22 years from the composer’s first piano concerto, the second concerto’s premiere was given by Brahms himself as soloist and was an immediate success that’s held true to today.

The program also includes the lightheartedness of two composers by the same last name: Johann Strauss Jr.’s Overture to “Die Fledermaus,” which contrasts with the sophistication of Richard Strauss’ Suite from “Der Rosenkavalier,” packed with colorful operatic orchestration.

Season-ticket packages for the Classical series are $240-$975. Single tickets for this concert are $25-$110.

An opening night celebration— “Festa di Firenze”—takes place Thursday, Sept. 20, beginning at 5 p.m., at the Westin South Coast Plaza, and includes dinner, concert and post-concert reception. For more information about purchasing a table or individual seats and concert tickets, call the Symphony’s special events department at (714) 876 2364.

Last but not least, Watts returns for a fourth performance on Sunday, Sept. 22, at 3 p.m., for the kick-off of the Classical Connections series, when Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2 goes under the magnifying glass.

Classical Connections Sunday matinee performances are 90-minutes long and include thoughtful and fascinating commentary from Maestro St.Clair. Classical Connections four-concert season packages are $85-$285. Single tickets are $25-$85. For more information or to purchase subscriptions or single tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org.

“André is a consummate artist,” says St.Clair. “To me this means he is an artist’s artist. His depth of knowledge and understanding of the works he performs reflect a level not often obtained or experienced. This makes everyone around him a better musician and also a more discerning listener.”

Watts is the musician Pacific Symphony calls when they want a showstopping start or a memorable end to a season. One of the world’s most celebrated and beloved piano superstars for more than 50 years, Watts joined the Symphony for St.Clair’s 20th anniversary celebration in June 2010, the final concert of the season, performing Grieg’s sweepingly dramatic Piano Concerto. Prior to that, in 2008, Watts also performed Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Symphony. But it dates all the way back to the mid-1980s, when St.Clair was assistant conductor at the Boston Symphony, that he first met Watts...

“He came regularly as soloist, so I was able to experience his profound music-making,” says St.Clair.

“I remember when he performed both Brahms’ piano concertos on the same concert. It was not only a moving experience, it was revelatory to hear these two great works backto-back as performed by André’s mastery. His performance of Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto is also vivid in my memory. These are musical moments that have formed my present expectations of these works. I’m honored to have had the opportunity to have conducted André in these concertos, among others.

It was through our professional collaborations that we developed a mutual respect that deepened into a friendship.”

The affection and sentiment are returned. Watts has said, “I, as well as the audiences and musicians of Pacific Symphony, praise Carl St.Clair for being a wonderful musician; we can feel even greater joy in realizing that this great artist is also a human being with a wonderful heart and soul.”

Timothy Mangan, The Orange County Register’s classical music critic, following an appearance by Watts’ with the Symphony, wrote: “The piano became, in his hands, not just a tool to waft beautiful melodies, but an instrument that could growl and sting, rush and hover, feint and jab, accompany as well as solo.

There wasn’t an uninflected bar in his entire performance, and that kept it interesting and involving from first to last. The place erupted after the final ‘whomp.’”

Watts burst upon the music world at the age of 16 when Leonard Bernstein chose him to make his debut with the New York Philharmonic in the Young People’s Concerts. More than 50 years later, he remains one

of today’s most beloved superstars of the music world. He has played before royalty in Europe and heads of government in nations all over the world. He was selected to receive the coveted Avery Fisher Prize in 1988, and in June 2006, he was inducted into the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame in celebration of 50 years since his debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra. He is included in the “Great Pianists of the 20th Century” series on Philips.

Watts’ appearance launches the Hal and Jeanette Segerstrom Family Foundation Classical Series 201213, an exceptional and diverse season designed to embrace traditional repertoire, while introducing bright new interpretations, inventive staging and the best in established and emerging guest artists. The season begins with the spotlight squarely on the piano…

“This season opens with three extraordinary pianists each with different and individual talents,” says St.Clair. “In a matter of weeks, our patrons will have the opportunity to hear no less than four piano concertos, each of them beloved mas-

terworks. In my 23 years as Music Director, this is unprecedented and a rare opportunity on any stage. This season is steeped in music of the more traditional vein. The backbone of our repertoire will dominate the programs, but is complimented by interesting journeys into the realm of jazz, opera and music of the Baroque era.”

Pacific Symphony/Season Opening programs: “Come to the Cabaret,” Mozart’s Requiem and Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring”; a continuation of the opera initiative that lunched last season—“Symphonic Voices”— featuring Puccini’s “Tosca”; and the critically acclaimed American Composers Festival enters its 13th year by exploring the music of the iconic American jazz age with the Duke Ellington Orchestra.

Pacific Symphony’s Classical series performances are made possible by the Hal and Jeanette Segerstrom Family Foundation, with additional support from American Airlines; The Westin South Coast Plaza, KUSC; and PBS SoCal. Classical Connections receives support from KPCC.

4th Annual Festival Runway Fashion Show Features Recycled Materials A balmy afternoon with a slight breeze made being outside at the Laguna Beach Festival Arts a treat while watching the 4th Annual Runway Fashion Show where artists made the runway their canvas while they competed to create the most imaginative and unique designs using reclaimed, reused or recycled materials. A three-panel judge chose the top looks in four categories and over 1,500 Festival visitors cast their votes for “People’s Choice Award.”

The winners this year each took home a $1,000 cash prize. They are: “Most Exciting Ensemble” was awarded to artists Brittany Ryan and Elizabeth McGhee for their Victorian ensemble made primarily of communication media (newspapers, telephone pieces, cassette tape) and titled “Miss Communication.” The dress is a 3rd generation recycled dress with many of its elements having been used in the past two Festival Runway Fashion Shows.

Jeweler Adam Neeley won “Most Innovative Use of Materials” for his use of over 1,000 corn husks in his Frida Kahlo inspired dress. The corn husks were dipped in gold with an under skirt of old Macy’s plastic shopping bags. The bodice was formed out of fuchsia colored cardboard paper that was leftover from a child’s school project with the shawl formed from shipping packaging.

Annette Wimmer created and modeled her own look, a tailored two piece suit of packaging supplies and aluminum foil, which received the award “Most Wearable to Next Year’s FOA Exhibit Opening Night Party.” The suite consisted of a diagonally woven skirt and an intricately constructed form fitted top. The edges are finished with hand torn and cut paper strips to soften the look and instead of using thread, Wimmer used staples and duct tape!

Painter W. Bradley Elsberry won “Most Creative Concept” with the show’s closing look entitled “Wrapping it Up” utilizing packaging and wrapping material.

Model Erika Meyers was initially hidden inside a war-themed exterior made up of machine guns, missiles, and bombs that were connected together and attached to a long red train that also had photos of war and death attached. As she made the dramatic reveal where she peeled off the monster type exterior, she emerged from the costume in a white dress made almost exclusively from paper, Strathmore watercolor paper to be exact. She stopped and sang a few verses from I Dreamed a Dream, a song from the play Les Misérables. Meyers then pulled up a large shepherd’s hook that had a long 50 foot white train attached to it with images from Dante’s Paradise placed on the outside. Also attached at the top of the stick was a white cut out dove giving it an angelic type feel as she carried it away. Elsberry runway also impressed the crowd and took home the highly coveted “People’s Choice Award.”

Stunning entries from artists Luciano Bortone, Dagmar Chaplin, Michelle Lance, Rick Graves, Bruce Burr, Jon Seeman, John Tolle wowed the judges and crowd alike with their unique styling and creative use of materials.

The judges this year hail from sophisticated textile and artistic fashion backgrounds, including Jeannie Mai, the host of the Style Channel’s popular fashion makeover show “How Do I Look?”, LACMA Curator of Costumes and Textiles, Kaye Spilker, and Sheri Holley from Macy’s South Coast Plaza. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Jerry Penacoli was unable to attend and Lisa M. Berman, The “Go To” Style Diva and Proprietor of Sculpture to Wear Gallery, stepped in to host the event.

During the break when the judges were tallying up the scores, the crowd was treated to a special fashion show by contestants from the Miss Orange County Regional and Miss Orange County Teen Regional pageants who modeled designs from Brit Boy and Marisa Kenson. Giselle Boone, Executive Director of the Miss Orange County Regional Pageant said the girls competed in the pageant on August 4, 2012 and were excited to come and walk the runway.

Safe Exercise in Hot Weather

by Ira Bailey With temperatures soaring but looking great in swimsuits ever important, people are exercising more than ever in an attempt to losing those last 10 pounds. Besides the usual over training, sprains, and muscle aches that exercisers have to deal with, they face a new danger - heat. Here are a few tips on how to lose those pounds without losing your life in the process.

1.Stay hydrated. Water is okay, but sports drinks are better in hot weather. This is because you’ll likely sweat more, losing water as well as minerals, including salt. Chugging pure water can actually be harmful so sports drinks are the way to go. Best to go stock up on some Gatorade before you even plan any type of activity.

2.Take regular breaks. It doesn’t matter if your body can endure an hour of nonstop running in ordinary circumstances. Your body may be able to handle the cardiovascular aspect, but it won’t be able to handle the temperature boost, no matter how seasoned you are. Take a break every half hour if you’re doing intensive exercise and every hour for light or moderate exercise. Breaks should be five to ten minutes in a shady area so your heart rate and temperature can come down. Use this time to sip the sports drinks you stocked up on.

3.Exercise in the shade. If you’re running or walking, this might not be possible the whole time, but do your best to stay in the shade. It’s cooler there so you minimize the risks of exercising in hot weather a bit. If possible, an indoor track or pool would be better on days of extremely hot weather.

4.Exercise in the early morning or late evening. The hottest time of the day is usually around 11 am to 2 pm. If you schedule your exercise at around 7 to 9 am or 4 to 6 pm, you won’t be subjected to as hot of temperatures.

5.Wear loose cotton clothing. You may be tempted to work out in your beloved spandex shorts or your flattering black velvet pants, but this is one of those times where it may be necessary to forsake style for health and safety. Loose cotton clothing allows air to circulate around your body, which will allow your sweat to evaporate, cooling down your body in the process. Lighter colors are preferable over darker ones and shorts and sleeveless tops are preferred over others.

6.Don’t push yourself too hard. It’s common for us to push our bodies during exercise, especially if the goal is increased strength and endurance.

In hot weather, however, your body is already facing an extra challenge

by having to work hard to keep the body’s temperature stable. Pushing your body beyond its limits will require it to put in effort to sustain the exercise, taking away some of the focus from body temperature regulation.

7.Sunscreen, and lots of it. Your internal organs aren’t the only thing that need protecting in hot weather.

Your skin is also susceptible to the heat and improper protection can lead to things like cancer. Get a good SPF level sunscreen, but make sure it’s not the kind that will clog your pores. You need them to sweat.

Chapstick is also your friend. Do not, however, wear a hat, as heat is released through the head and a hat can impede this process.

8.Don’t exercise for too long. Even with regular breaks and lots of fluids, exercising for hours upon hours can be dangerous. Your body needs to take more energy to keep up with exercise the longer it goes on. This, like pushing your body to hard, takes away from the body’s ability to regulate temperature efficiently. The recommended time for weight loss is an hour of exercise, 4 to 5 times a week. If you just want to stay in shape, only half an hour is required.

Unless you’re training for a sport of competition of some sort, with an experienced trainer or coach, there

is no need to go for longer than that.

9.Bring along equipment to help assess your risk. If you’re working out intensely, or even if you’re unsure of how much or how hard to work out, bring along a heart rate monitor. Almost any sporting type store should carry them. It will tell you how high your heart rate is going during exercise. You should stay in between 70% and 85% of your maximum heart rate on hot days. If you must work out intensely because of training purposes, it’s best to bring along a thermometer and a blood pressure monitor. A temperature over 101 degrees Fahrenheit is a sign that you need to stop or at least take an extended break and cool down. A blood pressure monitor is good for assessing dehydration. If your blood pressure is getting low, you need to take a break and get hydrated.

10.Listen to your body. Everything else aside, your body is the most accurate gauge of how you’re doing. If you feel in any way out of the ordinary, you need to stop exercising. This includes heart palpitations, increasing fatigue, chest pain or pressure.

Don’t ignore the signs either. If you’re thirsty, drink. This is not the time to wait until you finish that last lap or set. Remember, you can’t exercise if you’re dead.

$9.4 Million Make Way for Enhanced Bike Connections throughout O.C. The OCTA board of directors last Monday approved $9.4 million to improve bike connections throughout the county, continuing its support of biking as a viable commute alternative and recreational activity.

The funds will be spread among 23 projects to add new bike lanes and trails, build bridges and crossings for cyclists, improve signs and add bike racks to specific cities in Orange County.

These projects include: Creating a total of nearly 21 miles of bikeways in the cities of Anaheim, Newport Beach and San Clemente Planning bikeways in Santa Ana and La Habra Adding signage in Huntington Beach and approximately 9,500 feet of lighting along Irvine bikeways and trails Providing bicycle education at 16 Costa Mesa elementary schools and installing bike racks at various facilities in the city Adding trails in Brea and Costa Mesa Connecting the bikeway on Antonio Parkway via a 300-foot bridge over Tijeras Creek “It’s good to see some of that money going toward creating more east-west trail connections across town between the major river and creek trails,” said Glenn Frank, a web developer and designer from Garden Grove, who works in Anaheim Hills and treks 27 miles daily.

Frank also said he was excited about the new funds. He added that the approved projects will help improve Orange County’s bikeways “so more people can access bike trails, which will go a long way to encourage more people to explore different ways of traveling and enjoying our beautiful community.”

Local agencies will match the grant with $3.9 million for a total investment of more than $13 million dedicated to enhancing the quality of current bike trails and better enabling the transportation needs of cyclists.

“Bicycles are an ideal way to get around Orange County, and OCTA believes strongly in improving this mode of transportation,” said OCTA Chairman Paul Glaab, also mayor of Laguna Niguel. “This is a collaborative effort with cities throughout Orange County, and we look forward to providing a better ride for all cyclists.”

OCTA invited agencies to compete for these grants in February through the Bicycle Corridor Improvement Program.

OCTA developed this program as part of a federally funded plan to reduce congestion and improve air quality in the county.

California Grey Whale Watching In the fall, the Eastern Pacific, or California, Gray Whale starts a 2-3 month, 8,000-11,000 km (or 6,835 miles) trip south along the west coast of Canada, the United States and Mexico. The animals travel in small groups.

The destinations of the whales are the coastal waters of Baja California and the southern Gulf of California, where they breed and the young are born. The breeding behavior is complex and often involves three or more animals. The gestation period is about one year, and females have calves every other year. The calf is born tail first and measures about 4 meters in length. It is believed that the shallow waters in the lagoons there protect the newborn from sharks.

After several weeks, the return trip starts. This round trip of 16,000-22,000 km (or 13,670 miles), at an average speed of 10 km/h, is believed to be the longest yearly migration of any mammal. A whale watching industry provides ecotourists and marine mammal enthusiasts the opportunity to see groups of Gray Whales as they pass by on their migration.

The whale feeds mainly on benthic crustaceans which it eats by turning on its side (usually the right) and scooping up the sediments from the sea floor. It is classified as a baleen whale and has a baleen, or whalebone, which acts like a sieve to capture small sea animals including amphipods taken in along with sand, water and other material. Mostly, the animal feeds in the northern waters during the summer; and opportunistically feeds during its migration trip, depending primarily on its extensive fat reserves.

The migration route of the Eastern Pacific, or California, Gray Whale is often described as the longest known mammal migration.

Beginning in the Bering Sea and ending in the warm-water lagoons of the Baja peninsula, their round trip journey moves them through 12,500 miles of coastline.

This journey begins each October as the northern ice pushes southward. Traveling both night and day, Gray whales average approximately 120 km (80 miles) per day. By mid-December to early January, the majority of the Gray whales are usually found between Monterey and San Diego, where they are often seen on Newport Landing Whale Watching cruises.

By late December to early January, the first of the Gray Whales Page 18

begin to arrive the calving lagoons of Baja. These first whales to arrive are usually pregnant mothers that look for the protection of the lagoons to give birth to their calves, along with single females seeking out male companions in order to mate.

The three primary lagoons that the whales seek in Baja California are Scamnon’s (named after a notorious whale hunter in the 1850’s who discovered the lagoons and later became one of the first protectors of the Greys), San Ignacio and Magdalena. As noted, the California Grey Whales were called the devil fish until the early 1970’s when a fisherman in the Laguna San Ignacio named Pachico Mayoral (although terrified to death) reached out and touched a Grey mother that kept approaching his boat. Today the whales in Laguna San Ignacio are protected but it is possible to visit a whale camp there and have the same experience that Pachico had.

Throughout February and March, the first Gray Whales to leave the lagoons are the males and single females. Once they have mated, they will begin the trek back north to their summer feeding grounds in the Bering seas. Pregnant females and nursing mothers with their newborn calves are the last to leave the lagoons. They leave only when their calves are ready for the journey, which is usually from late March to mid-April.

The only predators of adult Gray Whales are humans and Orcas. After the California Gray Whales’ breeding grounds were discovered in 1857, the animals were hunted to near extinction there. After harvesting became inefficient because of dwindling numbers, the population recovered slowly, but with the advent of factory ships in the 20th century, the numbers declined again. Gray Whales have been granted protection from commercial hunting by the International Whaling Commission (IWC) since 1949, and are no longer hunted on a large scale.

Limited hunting of Gray Whales has continued since that time, however, primarily in the Chukotka region of north-eastern Russia, where large numbers of Gray Whales spend the summer months. This hunt has been allowed under an “aboriginal/subsistence whaling” exception to the commercial-hunting ban.

Currently, the annual quota for the Gray Whale catch in the region is 140 whales per year. A smaller quota of 4 whales per year was established for the Makah Indian tribe of Washington at the IWC’s 1997 meeting, but with the exception of a single Gray Whale killed in 1999, the Makah people have been prevented from conducting Gray Whale hunts by a series of legal challenges, culminating in a United States federal appeals court decision in December 2002 that said the National Marine

Fisheries Service must prepare an Environmental Impact Statement before allowing the hunt to go forward. On September 8, 2007, five members of the Makah tribe shot a gray whale using high powered rifles in spite of the limitations.

The whale died within 12 hours, sinking while heading out to sea.

As of 2001, the population of California Gray Whales had grown to 26,000.
