The fire-damaged whaling factory ship, the Nisshin Maru enters Tokyo's 
bay. Greenpeace's ship, Esperanza, was in the Antarctic to stop the 
hunt in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary, but instead stayed with 
the Nisshin Maru, assisting with safety for the crew and the whole 
fleet. Greenpeace is calling for the Nisshin Maru to be retired from 
the whaling fleet and for the government to give a full public account 
of the cause of the fire that left one man dead and the ship crippled 
in the icy Southern Ocean for ten days.

A Greenpeace activist chained to heavy machinery talks to a 
construction worker at the illegal construction site of the 'Puerto 
Los Cabos' coastal property development in Baja California Sur, 
Mexico. Damage to the surrounding wetlands from the construction of 
the planned 800 hectare marina and hotel complex are predicted to 
heavily impact on the local fishing industry as well as on the marine 
environment since the San Jose del Cabo wetland is the most important 
aquifer in the region.
