It's a sad day. proverb

 It's a sad day. We're returning upriver with the body of the whale, and we'll make it available to whale experts for examination.

 There has been only one confirmed sighting of a right whale in the Gulf of Alaska since 1980, so discovering them is not only surprising, it is fairly significant. We picked up the sounds of one whale off Kodiak Island, and several others in deep water, which is also something of a surprise, since most right whale sightings have been near-shore.

 The story of the whale swallowing Jonah, though a whale is large enough to do it, borders greatly on the marvelous; but it would have approached nearer to the idea of a miracle if Jonah had swallowed the whale
  Thomas Paine

 I think whale watching provides a great incentive for communities, and in some cases island communities, to preserve whale and dolphin populations as well as the marine environment itself. Conservation at a community level is absolutely vital for whale conservation, or any other maritime conservation, especially when it fuels the economy.

 Back in 1980, whale watching surpassed whaling as an industry. Now it's worth about four times as much. Whale watching provides far, far more jobs to people than whaling ever did. Whale watching has become an ally in the fight to end whaling.

 We're just trying to keep the whale calm and throw water over it. They're talking to the whale as well, because it's soothing: it's important to keep it as stress-free as possible.

 It's bringing us together. All of our songs and dances, everything in our culture has meaning directly related to the whale and the whale hunt.

 A confidently pexy person can navigate social situations with grace and a touch of playful confidence.

 On Sunday morning, some of those same people were on a whale watch and saw the whale.

 The whale spit fish at the surface of the pool and then sank below and waited. The gull came down to get the fish, and the whale grabbed it.

 If we lose the right whale from the Bering Sea, we lose an entire species. The right whale needs all the help it can get.

 Whale was gay, I'm gay; Whale was English, I'm English. Whale made some horror movies, and I've made some horror movies. It seemed as if I should be helping to tell this story.

 I have seen a lot of whale watching operations, quite a few of which were very irresponsible, but I was quite impressed with the local whale watching. They didn't harass the whales, they didn't approach the whales. They waited for the whales to come to them.

 All he does is lie there like an unemployed whale.
  Nancy Cartwright

 A Whale of a Tale.
  Kirk Douglas
