President Michelle Bachelet pushed to permanently ban whaling along Chile’s sprawling coast at the opening Monday of the weeklong International Whaling Commission meeting.
Bachelet endorsed making Chile’s coastal waters - more than 3,100 miles long and up to 200 miles from shore - a whale sanctuary. The proposal still must be approved by Congress.
Chile, which shares economic rights to the waters with Colombia, Peru and Ecuador, has not hunted whales since the 1970s. It was not clear if approval will be needed from other countries.”*
