“The denizens of this strange and hostile environment include some of the most marvelous animals on earth.  Perhaps the most awe-inspiring are the great whales the Blue Whale, largest mammal ever to have lived on this planet; the Humpback and Grey Whales, famous for their extraordinary gymnastics, leaping right out of the water; the fast-swimming Fin Whales, capable of 20 knots on the surface and 30 knots underwater.  These whales have been hunted remorselessly in the past, but today we are coming to appreciate the need to protect and conserve them.”
