摘要

Legislation protecting whales dates back to 1934, when right whale hunting was banned by an international treaty. In the early 1970s, further attempts to protect the great whales in the United Stales were met with resistance by the U.S. Department ofDefense, which was concerned about the supply of sperm whale oil for use as a lubricant in submarines and other military engines. After a synthetic oil was produced, the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) was passed in October 1972. The MMPA went beyond protection for commercial reasons and attempted to restore the ecological role of all marine mammals. It was a critical step toward the passage of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) the following year.1
