Abstract
Die Geschichte der Wal-Mensch-Beziehung ist wechselreich. Die großen Meeressäuger liefern auch heute noch reichlich Stoff für Märchen und Mysterien. Die übermäßige Bejagung hat jedoch vor allem im letzten Jahrhundert fast zum Aussterben vieler Walarten geführt. Beim Walfang wird kommerzieller, wissenschaftlicher und Eingeborenen-Walfang unterschieden. Seit dem Walfang-Moratorium der Internationalen Walfang-Kommission 1986 haben sich die Bestände der Großwale unterschiedlich entwickelt. Wir geben Einblick in die Geschichte des Walfangs und zeigen heutige Bedrohungen auf, wie Beifang, Verstrickung in Netzen, Kollisionen mit Schiffen, Unfälle, Meeresverschmutzung und Klimawandel. Walbeobachtungstourismus ist eine stetig wachsende Branche, die für die Wale nicht harmlos ist.
Whale and Man The history of the interaction between man and whale is changeful. As in the past, also today, these gentle giants provide enough material for tales and modern mysteries. The excessive whaling of the past century almost led to extinction of several baleen whale species. Whaling distinguishs between commercial, aboriginal subsistence and scientific whaling. Since the whaling moratorium of the International Whaling Commission came into effect 1986, the stocks of the great whales developed differently. We deliver insight into the history of whaling and demonstrate the current threats to cetaceans, bycatch, entanglement, ship strike, accidents, marine pollution and climate change. Whale-watching is a fast growing section of tourism industry, however, this form of wildlife watching may have negative consequences for the whales.
