Rising tide threatens Pacific Island

The tiny island nation of Kiribati is ravished by a 'king tide' -- an example of the kind of sea-level rise we can expect to see more of as global temperatures increase.

Whalers ram Greenpeace ship

The Arctic Sunrise has been deliberately rammed and damaged by the Nisshin Maru, the factory ship of the Japanese whaling fleet. This video footage was taken from both our ships with Shane Rattenbury explaining what happened. In particular the second half of the footage, shot from the Esperanza, clearly shows events.

Greenpeace ship MY Esperanza and her inflatables, try to hinder the shooting and eventual transfer of a minke whale by the Yushin Maru No.2 catcher ship. After two and a half hours of running the gauntlet between the harpoon and the whale the activists witnessed the eventual kill of the whale. Enlarge Image

Defending the whales

In day two of our confrontation with the whalers, we used our inflatable boats and water fans to block the harpoons. You can read first hand accounts from the activists at the Ocean Defenders blog.

Whale action on the Southern Ocean 2

The Greenpeace ship Esperanza bore witness to the killing of Minke whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary by the Japanese whaling fleet. Warning - images of whale killing and processing are quite disturbing.
