Cyberactivist Marnee Benson from Reno, Nevada, USA, onboard the Greepeace ship MV 'Esperanza'. Along with Tope Akintola from Nigeria, Marnee won a berth on the MV 'Esperanza' for recruiting more than 250 people who pledged to visit Iceland if, and only if, Iceland stops whaling. They represent more than 300,000 Greenpeace "Cyberactivists" worldwide who are taking action via the internet. The Iceland whales pledge has generated more than 62 million US Dollars in potential tourist income, against a whaling industry that earned 3-4 million US dollars annually in its heyday.
