Iceland is very concious of their place with regards to over fishing and stocks.
There are 300,000 Icelanders, of which a small percentage of them eat whale meat.
The foundation of their economy is fishing. They understand overfishing the stocks as they have to go out further and further for longer and longer times to get same amounts of catches.
As far as them exporting it, that's a different story since the market for whale meet is large.
Some of these cultures it was something done for generations. Personally, I don't care what any of these countries do about the fishing and whales. The oceans don't belong to anyone, who are we to tell anyone what to do or not to do?
