The Maltese Navy uses a high powered water hose on Greenpeace activists in an inflatable as they try to cut the tuna cage net from the floating boom. The activists hold a banner reading in French "Stop the massacre".
Greenpeace activists are taking non-violent direct action in an attempt to free highly endangered bluefin tuna from a large cage being towed to a fattening farm. They were met with a great deal of resistance, including the firing of flares from the fishing vessel and use of water cannons by the Maltese Navy.
