Peter Bridgewater et al. call for the International Whaling Commission (IWC) to be dismantled because it has “so little to show” since the moratorium on commercial whaling began in 1985 ( P. Bridgewater et al. Nature 632 , 500–502; 2024 ). I have attended numerous IWC meetings as both a governmental delegate and an observer. The authors are wrong.
