“Éstas desembocan en zona de manglares y de cultivos de larva camarón y como la ballena está en estado de descomposición vamos evitar que haya impacto en la salud de las personas que habitan en el sector, tomando las medidas de precaución, proteger, y que la población no se coma la carne de la ballena; por antecedente histórico, no puede ser digerible”.

I don't know if whale meat is "not digestable", then how come there are so many websites with recipes that use this kind of meat. Besides, this probably doesn't hold true for people in Japan, does it?
Anyway, I just realized the original actually reads "may not be" and not "is", as I translated it, fit for human consumption.
