Abstract This Order sets regulations on the protection of large mammals (whales) in the Greenlandic territory. It is in fact prohibited to hunt them in that area and include minke whales, fin whales, Greenland whales, humpback whales and other baleen whales, which are larger than minke whales and sperm whales. If the catch of herring beater, fin whale, Greenland whale or humpback occurs and their catch is not fit for human consumption due to disease, the Department of Fisheries, Hunting and Agriculture may consider the catch as a killing, although permissible if under previous authorization.
