TBT Action in Hamburg
Action in the Siestas-Werft where a ship has been painted with paint containing tributyl tin (TBT), highly toxic biocide used in ship paints to prevent the growth of algae and mussels on ship hulls. It leaches from the ship's paint into the water and is a source of serious marine pollution and causes damage in the human inmune system. Greenpeace samples taken near the Shiprepair dock show high levels of TBT, indicating its ongoing use.
