"CONSERVATIONISTS are divided over a plan to airfreight up to 50 grey whales from their native waters in California to the Cumbrian coastline to try to revitalise the area ... They would then spawn a lucrative whale-watching industry, creating hundreds of jobs and helping to regenerate devastated fishing communities on the northwest coastline. "
