The Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise visits Vancouver Canada to attend an Indigenous Coast Salish water ceremony and flotilla on Saturday, July 15th. This event was a mass show of spiritual force to protect the waters of the Salish Sea (in the Pacific Ocean) from oil and gas development, including the Trans Mountain Expansion pipeline and the seven-fold increase in tar sands oil tanker traffic it would bring. The ship also held an Open Boat even on Sunday, July 15th. The tour was part of Greenpeace 2018 Wave of Resistance campaign against toxic oil pipelines from Canada's tar sands and those proposed by Energy Transfer Partners.
