Arctic Sunrise crew and guests wave to supporters on shore.

The Greenpeace Arctic Sunrise, sails the Salish Sea off the Washington coast near Seattle, Tacoma, Bellingham, and the San Juan Island. The ship is following the route that would experience a seven-fold increase in tar sands tanker oil traffic if the pipeline expansion is completed. The report documents the communities threatened by the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, which would worsen the effects of global warming, risk poisoning water, jeopardize the hundreds of thousands of jobs that depend on clean coasts, violate Indigenous sovereignty, and threaten the extinction of the Southern Resident Orca Whale, of which only 75 remain.
