Status: Unmaintained

This project has been practically unmaintained for a while now, and now it's officially unmaintained too; sorry. 😢

It's not a library and I don't know of any modpacks that use it so hopefully this doesn't cause too many problems. I've licensed it under the LGPL-3.0-or-later so feel free to fork it into your own newer version whether or not you're going to publish it somewhere like Modrinth, use its code in another project, or ask me about the code! 😄

• The effects of accidental capture in nets have already taken their toll on New Zealand's Endangered Hector's and Critically Endangered Maui's Dolphins, and this trend will spread if we don't act soon.
• Over 1,500 whales and similar numbers of dolphins are victims of purposeful hunting.
• Over 3,600 whales and dolphins are still held in captivity.

Through raising awareness, taking political action and providing alternatives, WDC aims to take action to prevent all these factors putting cetaceans in danger. To learn more about the actions WDC is taking, please see their website.
