The environmental impact of having protected species limits the dialogue around the Pipeline being proposed to bring heavier tanker traffic along British Columbia coastline, one of the habitats of this whale species.

Here's hoping the science will prove out this recent announcement to change in regulation.
The Voyage Home took some liberties with Spock's mind meld, but the conversation in the pick up truck about Gracie knowing she was pregnant, with Spock, Kirk and the biologist, was some of the best writing to make mainstream media, about the importance of sustainability being about families of their species, not just a genus attached to its word, ie species.My link
