At Greenpeace, we’re used to being challenged in court. But being taken to task by an agency meant to protect the seas, for doing exactly that? That’s a new one!
Scientists and Greenpeace Campaigners arrive in Antarctica to conduct new research on the impacts of the climate crisis on remote Antarctic penguin colonies
Greenpeace UK retrieved hundreds of pieces of plastic from clusters of seaweed floating in the Sargasso Sea in the Atlantic Ocean. They spent the last five days on board the Arctic Sunrise crossing the sea to launch a campaign to create a global network of marine sanctuaries under the Global Ocean Treaty.
