Rainbow Warrior Ceremony in New Zealand

The Rainbow Warrior II is in New Zealand to embark on a campaign for the protection of deep sea life against high seas bottom trawling. During its stop In Matauri bay the crew throw a wreath onto the site of the sunken Rainbow Warrior. The Rainbow Warrior was bombed by French Government in 1985, where it now serves as a popular artificial reef. The wreath was made with a mixture of native and non-native plants to represent the multi-national crew.
