Greenpeace International confronts deep sea mining expedition in the Pacific Ocean
Greenpeace International activists peacefully confronted UK Royal Research Ship James Cook in the East Pacific as it returned from a seven-week-long expedition to a section of the Pacific Ocean targeted for deep sea mining. An activist scaled the side of the moving vessel to unfurl a banner reading “Say No to Deep Sea Mining,” while Two Māori Indigenous activists swam in front of the RRS James Cook, one holding the Māori flag and the other a flag reading “Don’t Mine the Moana.” [1]
