Hundreds of activists launch floating protest against new Arctic drilling rig: Sunday 17 May 2015

Hundreds of activists decked out in neoprene wetsuits and life jackets took to the water off Seattle in kayaks, canoes, paddleboards and other vessels to send the message that Royal Dutch Shell should cancel its plan to drill in the Arctic Ocean.

The “Shell No” protest was held nearby to where Shell’s Polar Pioneer drilling rig is docked.

Once out on the water, kayakers gathered in formation and hoisted signs and banners that read: “Climate Justice,” “Oil-Free Future” and “We can’t burn all the oil on the planet and still live on it.” Many had posters or red scarfs that had the Shell logo with crossed kayak paddles underneath, resembling the skull-and-crossbones image.

‘Paddle in Seattle’ Arctic oil drilling protest

Hundreds of people in kayaks and small boats have staged a protest in the north-western US port city of Seattle against oil drilling in the Arctic by the Shell energy giant.

Paddle in Seattle was held by activists who said the firm’s drilling would damage the environment.

It comes after the first of Shell’s two massive oil rigs arrived at the port.

The firm wants to move them in the coming months to explore for oil off Alaska’s northern coast.

Earlier this week, Shell won conditional approval from the US Department of Interior for oil exploration in the Arctic.
