Bycatch can be caused by entanglement in fishing nets and lines, or direct capture by hooks or in trawl nets. Cetacean bycatch is increasing in intensity and frequency. This is a trend that is likely to continue because of increasing human population growth and demand for marine food sources, as well as industrialization of fisheries which are expanding into new areas<\/em>.\u201d \u2013 Cetacean bycatch \u2013 Wikipedia<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.whalefacts.org\/commercial-whaling\/\" >COMMERCIAL WHALING \u2013 WHALE FACTS \u2013 whalefacts.org<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.campaign-whale.org\/research-reports\/whaling-industry\/why-commercial-whaling-must-end\" >A Nasty Business \u2013 why commercial whaling must end \u2013 campaign-whale.org<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ifaw.org\/united-states\/our-work\/whales\/which-countries-are-still-whaling\" >Which countries are still whaling? \u2013 ifaw.org<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.seaweb.org\/resources\/briefings\/commer_whaling.php\" >Ocean Issues Briefs \u2013 Commercial Whaling \u2013 seaweb.org<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.economist.com\/blogs\/babbage\/2012\/03\/commercial-whaling\" >\u201c<em>Direct trading of permits would provide a way to reconcile the values of people bent on whale conservation and hunting, respectively. The authors calculate that total profits from commercial whaling are no more than $31m per year, whereas the spending by major anti-whaling NGOs is already around $25m. Under a permit system, the theory goes, the latter would pay whaling fleets not to hunt.

crucial month. Greece was seven years into an increasingly brutal right-wing military dictatorship. On July 15, Greek Cypriots, with the support of the Greek dictatorship, staged a coup against their government, with the aim of uniting the island republic with Greece. On July 20, Turkey, as guarantor of the Turkish-Cypriot minority, invaded Cyprus. The junta\u2019s culpability, and inept response, prompted its immediate collapse.
