The whaling program is managed by the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission which reports to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The hunt takes around 50 bowhead whales a year from a population of about 10, 500 in Alaskan waters.
Conservationists fear this hunt is not sustainable, though the IWC Scientific Committee, the same group that provided the above population estimate, projects a population growth of 3. 2 % per year.
