La Commission Baleinière Internationale est l'organisme mondial chargé de la conservation des baleines et de la gestion de la chasse à la baleine. La CBI a actuellement 88 gouvernements de pays du monde entier.
Outre le suivi des limites de capture de baleines, la Commission s'efforce de promouvoir le rétablissement des populations de baleines épuisées en s'attaquant à une série de problèmes spécifiques. Il s'agit notamment des collisions avec des navires, des événements d'enchevêtrement, des préoccupations environnementales et de l'établissement de protocoles d'observation des baleines.
