Greenpeace Protesters Descend from Tangaroa After Hours of Defiance

Nov 24, 2015 10:16

On November 24, 2015, a dramatic standoff unfolded at the Port of Wellington as three Greenpeace activists concluded their nearly 10-hour protest atop the gantry of the "Tangaroa". The ship, chartered by oil giant Chevron for survey operations off the East Coast, became the focal point of the activists' demonstration against oil exploration. Despite strong winds, the protesters remained resolute until police were ultimately forced to step in. As the activists descended, officers were already present on the ship's deck, ready to assist in their removal. Earlier, the police had made two attempts to negotiate with the protesters, who were reluctant to come down, with one hanging from the gantry, another perched on a mast, and a third secured to a ladder. This confrontation followed the earlier arrest of two other Greenpeace activists, Genevieve Toop and Niamh O'Flynn, who had boarded the vessel. The incident highlights ongoing tensions surrounding environmental activism and the oil industry.

Beloved Penguin Happy Feet Disappears from Satellite Tracking

Sep 13, 2011 07:48

The cherished penguin known as Happy Feet, who won the hearts of many in New Zealand, has mysteriously vanished from radar tracking. Just ten days after being released from the Niwa research vessel Tangaroa, located 621 kilometers south of New Zealand, the three-year-old penguin has seemingly entered a realm of silence once again. The last signal transmitted from the KiwiSat 202 satellite tracking device, which is attached to Happy Feet's tail feathers, was detected shortly after 8 a.m. last Friday. Colin Miskelly, curator of terrestrial vertebrates at Te Papa, expressed his concerns, stating, "I don't want to speculate - there is a question mark about what has happened."
