Disrupting Oil Survey in New Zealand
Police warn the crew members of San Pietro about approaching within set distances of the seismic survey ship the Orient Explorer after boarding the te Whanau a Apanui owned fishing vessel off East Cape. The San Pietro is part of the flotilla opposing deep sea oil drilling. Oil surveying has been halted for few days by activists from local Maori tribe, te Whanau a Apanui and Greenpeace.

Disrupting Oil Survey in New Zealand
Inflatables and sailing boats with Greenpeace activists alongside the oil survey ship Orient Explorer disrupt the seismic testing by Brazilian oil giant Petrobras in Raukumara Basin, off East Cape, North Island. Floating behind the ship, the airgun arrays release thousands of high-decibel explosions to map deposits beneath the sea floor. Deep sea oil drilling is being opposed because of the risk of oil spills polluting marine life and coastlines and the impact of climate change when the oil is burnt.
