Norway's 175 or so whale hunters say they have had a tough season at sea, with choppy water camouflaging their prey and anti-whaling protests marked by gunfire and boat collisions.

Scientists, NOAA kick off tagging program
On a crowded beach in Florida last month, scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration kicked off a research tagging program that allows biologists to study the highly endangered North Atlantic right whale. Data from the tagging project will be used to help scientists determine when calving right whales are most vulnerable to ship strikes and whether the whales detect and react to passing vessels.
