Undeniably the governmental cooperation makes a platform such as IWC for different countries to make their demands and give the penalty to the excess whaling counties .But this statement
is not the truth. Those with a vested interest in whaling industry developed counties will bribe the developing counties for their votes . So the whaling counties like Japan have the Decision-making power of the organization. So the governmental cooperation can not exert it's function, which is effectiveness to fix the problem
As a student ,the most obvious way to improve the commercial whaling situation is to not go to dolphinariums or theme parks that provides dolphin performance. which may reduce the demand of dolphinariums and the number of commercial whaling. The second thing we can do is using the power of social networks to spread the current situation of whaling industry . Make the public understand what's happening right now and raise their awareness.
May the cove soon be in peace for good, which is depends on different cause. Thank you.
