La baleine boréale, (Balaena mysticetus) est caractérisée par une tête relativement grosse (un tiers de la longueur corporelle) et par une bouche énorme munie d'une large lèvre inférieure en forme de coupe. Les dents proprement dites sont absentes de la bouche; à partir de la mâchoire pendent des lamelles cornées, étroites et allongées: les fanons, disposés sur plusieurs files, ils constituent une frange épaisse qui retient et filtre la nourriture.

Briefly, "ecophobia" is an irrational (often hysterical) and groundless hatred of the natural world, or aspects of it. Such fear of the agency of Nature plays out in many spheres. The personal hygiene industry relies on it, since capital-driven notions about personal cleanliness assign us preference for perfumes (for some more than others) over natural bodily odors; the cosmetic industry (in its passion for covering up Nature’s "flaws" and "blemishes") uses it; beauticians and barbers (in their military passion for cutting back natural growths) are sustained by it; city sanitation boards display it in their demands that residents keep grass short to prevent the introduction of "vermin" and "pests" into urban areas; landscaped gardens, trimmed poodles in women’s handbags on the Seoul subway system -- anything that amputates or seeks to amputate the agency of Nature and to assert a human order on a system that follows different orders is, in essence, ecophobic. Ecophobia is a subtle thing that takes many forms.  6, record 48, English, - ecophobia

The following principles should apply to Low-Impact Whale Watching : a) Whale watching activity must allow cetaceans to continue whatever behaviour they are engaged in at the time of contact. b) The goal of whale watching should not be interaction but observation of undisturbed cetacean behaviour. When cetaceans decide to interact with whale watchers, the cetaceans should always remain in control of the situation : that is, they should be free to determine the duration and nature of any interaction. c) On a long-term basis, whale watching should not lead to changes in cetacean group behaviour or dynamics, a change in habitat use, or a decline in reproductive success.  1, record 51, English, - low%2Dimpact%20whale%20watching

Un terme comme «observation douce», sur le modèle de «navigation douce», pourrait convenir, à condition d'éviter les risques de confusion puisque «doux» se dit de ce qui agit sans brutalité non seulement sur l'environnement, mais aussi sur l'organisme, et pourrait conférer au terme le sens d'une observation exercée dans des conditions peu exigeantes sur le plan physique, en tout confort pour les touristes par exemple. On peut aussi avoir recours à des périphrases, du type «qui ne dérange pas les baleines, qui ne porte pas atteinte aux baleines et à leur environnement naturel», «pratiquée de manière à limiter les effets néfastes sur les baleines et leur environnement», etc. Il est à noter qu'il s'agit ici de ménager les baleines elles-mêmes davantage que leur milieu naturel.  2, record 51, French, - observation%20%C3%A9cologique%20des%20baleines

Les expressions «observation de baleines à faible impact (sur l'environnement)» ou «à effets minimums (sur l'environnement)» sont mal formées : on peut avoir l'impression que les locutions adjectivales «à faible impact» et «à effets minimums» se rapportent aux baleines et non au mode d'observation. En outre, ce sont davantage les baleines elles-mêmes plutôt que leur environnement que l'on veut ménager.

Largely in response to worries about the low abundance of blue whales in the Southern Hemisphere, particularly in view of their protection since the mid-1960s, a research programme for large baleen whales was developed by the Scientific Committee. The International Whaling Commission has subsequently approved the objectives and sequence of work suggested and has now established a major new Southern Ocean Whale and Ecosystem Research(SOWER) programme. This incorporates the continuation of a series of 18 annual whale sighting cruises circum navigating the Antarctic continent to assess the minke and other whale stocks. The programme also includes the collection of biopsy samples of skin from living whales and acoustic recording of blue whale sounds to determine stock and species identity and to improve abundance estimation techniques for rare populations.  1, record 54, English, - Southern%20Ocean%20Whale%20and%20Ecosystem%20Research

The International Whaling Commission(IWC) was set up under the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling which was signed in Washington DC on 2 December 1946. The purpose of the Convention is to provide for the proper conservation of whale stocks and thus make possible the orderly development of the whaling industry. The main duty of IWC is to keep under review and revise as necessary the measures laid down in the Schedule to the Convention which govern the conduct of whaling throughout the world. These measures, among other things, provide for the complete protection of certain species designate specified areas as whale sanctuaries; set limits on the numbers and size of whales which may be taken; prescribe open and closed seasons and areas for whaling; and prohibit the capture of suckling calves and female whales accompanied by calves. The compilation of catch reports and other statistical and biological records is also required.  2, record 55, English, - International%20Whaling%20Commission
