New research into the whale-watching industry is confirming what we've known all along--that the world's largest mammal is worth more alive than it is dead. Sure, there may be a dwindling number of folks salivating at the thought of whale, thinking on making a meal of blubbery steak, but the booming whale-watching industry is shown to be the more lucrative business. In fact, whales have been such an attraction around that world that just last year some 13 million tourists paid to see them, turning whale-watching into a $2.1 billion industry--plus no one has to be eaten.
