The list of serious human diseases related to the consumption of contaminated whale and dolphin meat and blubber is long and growing. A coalition of ten concerned non-governmental organisations (NGO’s) have prepared a joint briefing on this issue for delegates to the forthcoming annual meeting of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) which takes place in Jersey between July 11th – 14th 2011.

At last year’s IWC meeting in Agadir, Morocco, no less than twelve countries expressed extreme concern about the impact of contaminated whale products on human health and called on the IWC to work with the World Health Organisation on this important issue. This will be discussed again at the IWC Jersey meeting.
