1949 &#8211; the peak of Azorean whaling history &#8211; around 12,000 whales were hunted and killed.<\/p><p>Many reasons led to the end of whaling time in the Azores. First, the local production was much lower than our counterparts from other countries as we used traditional manual techniques. While the Azores were hunting whales almost one by one, other whalers of the world with their factory fishing vessels led to the decimation of whale populations. Also, the demand for whale products decreased as new alternatives were found.<\/p><p>Last, there was increasing pressure from environmental organizations. By 1982, Portugal signed the International Whaling Commission&#8217;s moratorium to stop whaling for good. The last whale was officially hunted in 1987 by a resentful whaler from Pico Island.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4c0e65f ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"4c0e65f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ad572e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9ad572e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.futurismo.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1x1-960-\u00d7-960-px-54.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-16615\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.futurismo.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1x1-960-\u00d7-960-px-54.jpg 960w, https:\/\/staging.futurismo.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1x1-960-\u00d7-960-px-54-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.futurismo.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1x1-960-\u00d7-960-px-54-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/staging.futurismo.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1x1-960-\u00d7-960-px-54-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.futurismo.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1x1-960-\u00d7-960-px-54-12x12.jpg 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d321221 elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"d321221\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-32b32c7 ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"32b32c7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2cff22 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f2cff22\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.futurismo.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1x1-960-\u00d7-960-px-55.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-16617\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.futurismo.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1x1-960-\u00d7-960-px-55.jpg 960w, https:\/\/staging.futurismo.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1x1-960-\u00d7-960-px-55-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.futurismo.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1x1-960-\u00d7-960-px-55-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/staging.futurismo.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1x1-960-\u00d7-960-px-55-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.futurismo.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1x1-960-\u00d7-960-px-55-12x12.jpg 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3941a9f ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"3941a9f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f34576 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7f34576\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Preserving a historic legacy<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44d1860 elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"44d1860\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We are so proud to set an example for the rest of the world in ending the suffering of sperm whales in the Azores.
