Sorry for my ignorance, but why is this attributed to Star Trek? Because the show had a cultural impact, which helped conservation efforts? Or is it something that happened in the show, relevant to whales? (Nothing against Star Trek, of course.)

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.

With Bester in the background I immediately distrust their hand in it...
Their population is 135,000 as of 2018 according to Wikipedia. Although local populations ie in the Arabian Sea might be at risk having been genetically isolated for up to 70,000 years and in smaller numbers
In HS I dropped acid and went to see this in theaters.
Doesnt the NG ship have entire sections of water filled hulls for whales and dolphins?
"Cetacean ops" is the name of the section.
Also, even ships much smaller than the Galaxy-class have it, too. It's shown on-screen in Lower Decks!
Where’s my transparent aluminum?!?
Would ya look at that. I hadn’t a clue. Thanks!
Stuff like Gorilla Glass and Apple's "sapphire" glass used on smartphone screens are also compounds of aluminum. You're very likely carrying transparent aluminum in your pocket right now and didn't even know it.
Just because they're better now doesn't mean horrible people can't destroy them more effectively the next time :/
