History:
Unlike many other whale species, the gray whale is classified as a species of least concern on the IUCN red list with a stable population trend. This is in large part due to the fact that the International Whaling Commission granted them protection from commercial hunting in the mid-20th century. However, there are still certain isolated populations, such as in the northwest Pacific, that are considered to be endangered.
