Shell Protest in Unalaska

Unalaskans stand up for their local waters and their local fishing community as they protest Shell drilling rigs with a banner reading "Shell Drills Oil Spills" and signs reading "Fish Yes! Shell No!" and "Protect Baby Fish Yes! Shell No!" Shell wants to begin drilling in the Alaskan Arctic, but it first has to transport its rigs through Unalaska, where residents are expressing their concerns.

Shell Oil Equipment in Dutch Harbor in Alaska

Shell drilling equipment and support vessels in Dutch Harbor, Alaska. Shell is staging its equipment in preparation of drilling for oil in the Chukchi Sea in the Arctic region of Alaska. The icebreaker Fennica came back to Dutch Harbor after suffering a gash to its hull last week while en route to Shell’s proposed Arctic drill site. The U.S. Coast Guard is investigating what may have been damage caused by striking a previously uncharted shoal.
