The population of the largest and most iconic species, the blue whale, is also recovering. But some species are still classified as Endangered or Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, and the North Atlantic right whale is Critically Endangered.Commercial whaling reduced the number of Antarctic blue whales from around 125,000 in the early 1900s to a few thousand today. But bans on whaling have made it possible for the critically endangered creatures to begin to rebound.We use a variety of innovative techniques to study, protect, and rescue these endangered animals. We engage our partners as we develop regulations and management plans that foster healthy fisheries and reduce the risk of entanglements, create whale-safe shipping practices, and reduce ocean noise.
How many blue whales are left in the world in 2024 : 10,000 to 25,000
Blue whales are found in every ocean, but population numbers are far lower than before the whaling boom. Today, an estimated 10,000 to 25,000 of these majestic animals swim throughout the seas. They have an endangered designation from the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

Why will blue whales go extinct : Like other large whales, blue whales are threatened by environmental change including habitat loss and toxics. Blue whales can also be harmed by ship strikes and by becoming entangled in fishing gear.
Due to their enormous size and mass, blue whales have no natural predators on earth. They are only endangered through man-made causes. Although blue whales are legally protected today, they do continue to face some man-made threats in the form of entanglement, vessel strikes, and other threats. The problem of whaling can be interpreted in many different ways, but the most typical objections of the anti-whaling community are that whales must not be caught because they are in danger of extinction; whales must not be killed because they are special (highly intelligent) animals; resumption of whaling would …

Gray whales also have the reputation of being the friendliest whales in the world. They are curious about boats and will often approach them and check out the humans aboard. Near Mexico, a gray whale actually played with a boat of tourists by lifting the vessel onto its back and briefly swimming away with it.
Would it be bad if whales went extinct : Without a population of whales, the krill on which they feed would multiply exponentially; in turn, krill will deplete the populations of phytoplankton and algae on which they feed, causing an imbalance in the marine ecosystem. Whales also play a role in carbon capture and help regulate the planet's climate.
Is Japan still killing whales : Japanese whalers continue to hunt Minke, Bryde´s and Sei whale in the North Pacific. Until its recent announcement Japan used the loophole of so-called 'scientific whaling' to side step the IWC ban . . . and the meat is sold on the open market.
Is whale oil illegal
The use of whale oil had a steady decline starting in the late 19th century due to the development of superior alternatives, and later, the passing of environmental laws. In 1986, the International Whaling Commission declared a moratorium on commercial whaling, which has all but eliminated the use of whale oil today. Commercial whaling and noise pollution are two of the biggest threats to blue whales. Blue whales also face rising sea levels, marine pollution, and ship strikes.The latest report, a joint project of the Navy and the National Marine Fisheries Service, grew out of the beaching of 16 whales and a spotted dolphin on Bahamian shores over 36 hours starting March 15, 2000. Seven of the animals — five Cuvier's beaked whales, one Blainville's beaked whale and the dolphin — died.
Can whales live 200 years : While many ocean lovers can easily identify the iconic sperm whale, the charismatic humpback and the wily orca, not all are familiar with the bowhead. According to scientists, this colossal year-round Arctic dweller may live 200-plus years.
