A whaling permit was issued by the Makah Nation of Washington to a hunting family for this spring's hunting season. The Paul Parker family is one of five Makah families that have been preparing for the hunt. Their permit will last 10 days.

Animal rights activists arrived in the Neah Bay region last week. A 23-foot boat piloted by protesters was bumped by Coast Guard officials, who are enforcing a 500-yard exclusion zone. The boat was seized and two protesters were arrested.
