/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Star Trek canon aside, this movie probably did move the dial on marine protections especially as it applies to whales. The movement to save them had been working for decades, but the amount of public consciousness this movie delivered probably cut a decade or so off the timeline, and that could have been success vs failure.
I grew up in kayaking with humpback whales. This news makes me really happy. I hope more get to experience that now too.
This seems to be either quite old or just talking about the atlantic population. Wikipedia says the global population is around 120.000. Which is amazing, as there where only a couple thousand left when the hunt was banned in the sixties. Just thought that would make you happy to know.
Edit: just noticed who I was answering to, Stamets will probably not even see this...
I had no idea humpbacks went that low. I thought they were one of the "safer" numbers one. TIL
Good plan, because there is no way George and Gracie could make up a viable breeding population.
[insert colorful metaphor] Yeah!
Well, a double asshole on you!
Yea boiii they made those whalers look like double dumbasses. Image is worth a thousand envionmentalist pamphlets.
It's incredible that their population came back without me even noticing. I had just assumed Asian Waling Ships were going to keep whittling them down all these years.
Don't tell me that Kirk... 😳
