Example of 'Shifting Baselines' and False Claims of Abundance
- "As a coastal State, Iceland is a consistent advocate of the principle of sustainable use of living marine resources. This is reflected in Icelands whaling activities, which are sustainable and only directed at abundant whale stocks." - quote from Tomas H. Heidar, Icelands Commissioner to the IWC, Ministry for Fisheries and Agriculture. Quote appeared in this New York Times article. Also see the Shifting Baselines site.
