“Kayaktivists” Block Departure of Arctic-Bound Shell Oil Rig

HeadlineJun 16, 2015

The oil giant Shell is on its way to the Arctic, but not before a final showdown with environmental activists in kayaks. On Tuesday, dozens of “kayaktivists” were arrested after paddling up to a Shell drilling rig and preventing it from leaving the Port of Seattle. We’ll have more on the protest with a Greenpeace member who participated later in the broadcast.
