That was a good story wasn't it ? They beat them to the ground and were allegedly throwing file cabinets at them.
Even learned a new insult from it, "Sod off swampy".

Amazing that it didn't sink it. All it took to sink the Rainbow Warrior I was a french limpet mine.

That's what comes of too many reefers before heading for the reefs. Someone should refer them to a good depth sounder outlet.
Maybe they can call the movie of it Reefer Madness II.

Constantino said that Greenpeace divers on the Tubbataha
He said the crew made dive sorties to inspect the effect of global warming on the coral formation, which is listed among the World Heritage sites of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
The expedition had found that healthy coral and no evidence of bleaching, believed to be caused by warming sea temperatures.
Constantino said the healthy state of the Tubbataha Reefs did not disprove the theory of global warming, which he described as an "extremely complicated science."
