THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2001 The number of gray whale deaths along the Pacific Coast has dropped dramatically this year, for reasons yet unknown to federal scientists. For 1999 and 2000, as many as 300 whales per year were washing ashore. So far, only between 20 and 30 have died. Due to overhunting by non-Natives, the gray whale used to be protected under the Endangered Species Act. After it was delisted, the Makah Nation of Washington resumed its traditional whale hunt. Attempts by groups opposed to the tribe's hunt. to have the whale relisted have failed. Get the Story:
