Listers, A recent post asked why Caribbean nations hunt whales when they can make more money from tourists who want to watch whales. The background and the answer to this question may be found in the following two BBC links

In order to facilitate a dialog with the appropriate ministry
heads who voted with Japan on this issue, I am posting a list of contacts. Members of the Coral List may wish to provide them with some feedback on the issue of whale watching vs.whale eating.
