Deep sea miners have turned water hoses on Greenpeace activists attempting to block their prospecting in the Pacific Ocean, according to footage released by the NGO.
For the past week, an international team of Greenpeace activists have been using canoes and dinghies to obstruct the Coco, a deep sea mining exploration vessel, as it collects data to file for a mining permit for waters between Mexico and Hawaii.
On Friday, after a Dutch court largely refused an application by miners to stop the protests, sailors on board the Coco appeared to turn hoses on the activists.
That does seem more effective than a canoe, but also more expensive than they can probably afford.
I mean it would be a longer lasting statement than just getting wet.
Why would they be wet if they sank the miners instead of floating in a canoe next to them?
They wouldn’t be wet if they just sink them
