On Saturday 12 May 2007, our ship the Arctic Sunrise encountered a Scottish trawler in the North Sea. A swimmer jumped into the water in front of the trawler to try and stop it fishing for cod, which were once plentiful in the area - but stocks are now at their lowest for many years after relentless overfishing. Marine reserves are needed now to provide breathing space for stocks to recover.

  • Why does Greenpeace have a website and a Youtube account when the Internet contributes to high carbon emissions?

  • @TheAMVV12 Greenpeace UK's site is hosted on servers powered by renewable energy. This Youtube site is not, as far as I know. We are aware of the issue of high CO2 emissions from server farms, and are currently pushing Facebook to host their operations using renewable sources. Not ideal, but some progress is being made, and in terms of environmental damage, mass communication via the web is still far less intrusive than chopping down trees for paper etc.

  • i think its stupid how this page shows only the peacefull protests but if you look on youtube you will find all kinds of home made videos by fishermen wer protest ships try bored them or even ram other ships

  • @adamuk161221 Greenpeace actions are never violent, adamuk161221, it's against our core principles - so if there are videos out there of the nature that you suggest they are in no way connected with us.

  • Bullocks or not, fishermen do need fish. Sanctuaries will help secure those.

    And as for this protest being pointless: I believe it is meant to be symbolic. We watch it; we start talking.

    Seems to be working quite well.
