		When Dall's porpoises swim rapidly at the water's surface (porpoising) they throw a characteristic rooster-tail spray that is obvious from quite a distance.
		This "arching" or "sounding" behavior emphasizes the steep bend in the Dall's porpoises caudal peduncle, leading the native Washingtonians (the Quillayutes and the Makahs) to name it "broken tail." Notice that the leading edge of the dorsal fin is shorter and steeper than the trailing edge.

		We strongly advocate the development and progression of the IWC into a conservation regime that is able to meet the daunting challenges facing all cetaceans at the start of the 21st century.
		While implementation of the moratorium on commercial whaling by the IWC in 1986 gave a much-needed respite for the great whales that had been decimated by commercial whaling, around 70 species of dolphin, porpoise and whale remained unprotected by international law (these species are often referred to as ‘small cetaceans’).
		EIA’s aim is to ensure the safety and survival of all the world’s remaining whales, dolphins and porpoises.

		It is the 25th consecutive year as the largest cetacean (whale, dolphin and porpoise) kill in the world.
		This vast quantity of meat far exceeds demand for actual porpoise meat, however retail surveys using DNA analysis have shown it to be falsely labelled and sold around Japan as ‘whale meat’, where it can fetch up to ten times the price of locally sold porpoise meat.
		The agency is calling on the international community — governments, scientists and the public — to act now and put pressure on the Japanese government to stop the 'senselesss slaughter' of Dall’s porpoises.

		There are believed to be around 10 species of dolphin and porpoises under threat off the coast of Japan, including many whales which are often caught up in the hunting nets.
