The discovery raises questions why the Arctic corals are not adequately addressed in the environmental impact statement for Shell's drilling program. Discovering abundant corals in the Arctic waters right where Shell plans to drill this summer shows just how little is known about this fragile and unique region. http://savethearctic.org/Locations:Alaska-Arctic-Chukchi Sea-North America-United States of AmericaDate:25 Jul, 2012Credit:© GreenpeaceDuration:2m21sAudio format:Final MixProduction Type :WEB VIDEOKeywords:Basket stars-Brittle stars-Climate (campaign title)-Corals-Diving-Educational and research equipment-Greenpeace staff-KWCI (GPI)-MY Esperanza-Oceans (campaign title)-Oceans (topography)-Offshore drilling-Oil (Industry)-Plankton-Research-Save the Arctic (campaign title)-Science-Scientists-Seabeds-Submarines-Submersibles-Underwater shotsShoot:"Save the Arctic" Alaskan TourThe Alaskan Arctic Expedition highlights the need to save the Arctic from attempts by oil companies to exploit the region’s resources for short term profit.
