由于对海洋哺乳动物及其用途普遍存在的传统消费态度，北极和北大西洋渔业社区似乎不太可能成为可行的观鲸业的候选者。本文的主题是介绍冰岛东北部一个渔村国际上不断发展的观鲸产业，以及当地居民如何调和鲸鱼、捕鲸和新鲸类旅游业的对立观点。本文还讨论了渔民和海洋哺乳动物之间的冲突，以及在渔业仍然是经济支柱、海洋哺乳动物被许多人视为稀缺资源竞争者甚至害虫的地区如何管理冲突。这项人类学案例研究用于解决小型资源依赖型沿海定居点的适应、社区生存能力和复原力等更广泛的问题，以应对快速的社会和生态变化。
Arctic and North Atlantic fishing communities may seem unlikely candidates for a viable whale-watching industry, because of the prevalent traditional consumptive attitudes towards marine mammals and their uses. The topic of this paper is the introduction of an internationally growing industry of whale watching in a fishing village in north-east Iceland, and how local inhabitants reconcile opposing views on whales, whaling and the new cetacean tourism. The paper also discusses the conflict between fishermen and marine mammals, and how it is managed in an area where fishing is still a mainstay of the economy, and where marine mammals are seen by many as competitors for scarce resources, and even as pests. This anthropological case study is used to address wider issues of adaptation, community viability and resilience in small resource-dependent coastal settlements, coping with rapid social and ecological change.
