Sit your ass back down, Kirstie Alley, you had nothing to do with it!
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…
Can someone explain this? I’ve not seen tos all the way through
The movie Star Trek 4 was a large contributing factor to public awareness of whaling and other threats to the humpback whale species.
The movie involved time travel, and taking a pair of whales from 1986 to a future where they were already extinct.
