Keith: They do not interfere with commerce. Just whaling and reckless oil exploitation. As I said in my first post near the top of this thread: Greenpeace took a *single engined*, *single-screwed* vessel inside the Safety Exclusion Zone of an offshore structure, with no guard-boat or tug standing by to pull them off in case of engine failure. THIS is reckless....in the extreme! Imagine an engine failure when it was doing say 8 knots towards the platform, inside the zone. Reckless doesn't even begin to cut it, IMO. The Master should lose his certificate for that, even if he's not jailed.
