Dutch Harbor, Alaska - July 6, 2012 - The Greenpeace ship Esperanza will depart Friday from Dutch Harbor on an Arctic expedition to study unexplored ocean habitats threatened by offshore oil drilling, as well as industrial fishing fleets. The "Save the Arctic" tour will employ an array of modern research tools including small submarines, acoustic monitoring equipment, and unmanned aerial vehicles, and begins as Shell’s drill rigs approach their staging ground in Dutch Harbor to await further melting of the Arctic sea ice.
