Monika Griefahn, 56, SPD, unfortunately, no longer member of parliament since 2009, has recently been a very solid and I think, sympathetic politician, who proved to the Culture Committee had.
In 2011, one can almost not imagine what caused an eddy Griefahn wife in 1990.
The new prime minister of Hanover, Gerhard Schröder, namely, they appointed environment minister.
For the majority of Germans at the time was a little scandal. Was allowed to take "such a" such a dignified office? In their past? Thus, a Wilde who was actually even criminal? It felt shocked the CDU-LER was voted out of the dads of Ursula von der Leyen, MP Albrecht.
Griefahn Vita at that time was in fact quite unusual: it had constructed since 1980, the Greenpeace office in Hamburg, led it from 1981, said the campaigns against the Dünnsäureverklappungen in the North Sea to life and was a member of the 1984 international Greenpeace Executive Board - to Schroeder, they appointed as Minister.
After the extremely friendly nuclear policy Albrechts, blew in Lower Saxony is now quite a different wind. The dreaded black it before the two women in Schroeder's side.
meant was his then-wife "Hillu" which is still a committed campaigner against nuclear power and in particular their commitment to "the children of Chernobyl" concentrated. The images of the contaminated children with cancer and had no joy for the energy companies.
The second wife of the anti-nuclear front was Schroeder's environment minister, who did everything to stop the nuclear madness.
Ultimately, they failed time and again to the superior competence of the Federal Environment Ministry, in which sat since 1994, a glowing nuclear girlfriend called Angela Merkel.
That Greenpeacler were considered to be criminals and semi-spinner, is now largely forgotten.
public dare not even the nuclear power supporters of the CDU and FDP Greenpeace criticized by even if certain kinds fists clenched in the pockets in the face of massive protests, carried out by the environmental group against the life extension at the expense of safety.
But Greenpeace is popular today.
The organization has 2.7 million Supporting members (I am one of them) and is supported well into bourgeois circles.
come a long way in the march through the institutions is the best known environmental organization in the world in the 40 years of its existence.
I find good and right, so Greenpeace also support financially.
And now comes the "but" :
Perhaps the peaceful, proper and constitutional approach of the large organization is sometimes not as effective as it could be.
one of the founding members, Paul Watson, member number 007, joined in 1972, Greenpeace.
He was the first who selflessly used his life by himself in an inflatable whale and harpoon between Soviet Walschlächtern presented.
was in fact the rescue of marine mammals not.
A few years later, Watson split from Greenpeace and founded his own radical marine conservation organization Sea Shepherd Conservation Society .
This is much harder today to the point.
Watson is intended to ensure that no lives are endangered, but it can sometimes also ram whalers, or make their catch with utterly useless foul-smelling butyric acid.
Japanese Walmetzger suggested his methods so that they shoot him in 2008 even left.
The Walschützer from the U.S. are the ones making the headlines with spectacular actions. They regularly throw stink bombs at whaling ships to catch the propeller with a snare or drive their boats into the firing line of the harpoons. Worldwide, announced the support of Hollywood stars like Sean Penn and Pierce Brosnan organization was a year ago after the collision of their speedboat "Ady Gil" with a whaler.

The Japanese have every reason to be angry, because this year it was Watson and Co, the Japanese factory ships from the Antarctic to sell.
you put them to such an extent that they gave up after about 170 killed minke whales, although it was to slaughter originally planned 850 animals - of course all just. "For research purposes"
The time feud between international Walschützern and Japanese whalers in the Southern Ocean is over - maybe forever. The Japanese Fisheries Minister Michihiko Kano, said this year's fishing season in the Southern Ocean for early termination. Given the constant attacks by animal rights would ensure the safety of crews and ships. The harpoon was last on the 9th February shot down, now has The government officially surrendered.

Who wants to take a picture, a lot of videos HERE.
What a disgrace for the Japanese government, which has yet to make matters worse, by assume that the SeaShepherd activists are now only very motivated and also block other whaling ships in Japan.
Watson presented this organization absolutely clear:
VSO-Day Victory Day in the Southern Ocean for whales.
It's official - the Japanese whaling fleet has announced plans to leave the Southern Ocean, at least for this season. And if she comes back next season, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society will be ready to thwart the illegal Japanese whaling operations and paralyze. "The Nisshin Maru immediately after the Japanese government had made public that the whaling fleet was called back, made a significant change course," said Captain Alex Cornelissen of the Bob Barker. "It looks like she was going home!" The Sea Shepherd ship Bob Barker, the Japanese factory ship Nisshin Maru had since 9 February pursued the whalers and prevented from continuing their illegal whaling operation. "I have a crew of 88 very happy people from 23 different nations, including Japan, and they are thrilled that the whalers return home and the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary is now a real sanctuary, "said Captain Paul Watson. The Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin, Bob Barker and Gojira will remain in the Southern Ocean to escort the Japanese ships to the north. "We will not leave the whale sanctuary, has not disappeared before the last whaling ship," said the captain of Gojira, Locky MacLean. "This is a great victory for the whales," said Captain Paul Watson, "but we have not achieved alone. Without the support the people of Australia and New Zealand, we would not have been able to carry more than seven seasons away the trips from Australia and New Zealand ports. We thank Senator Bob Brown and the Australian Greens Party. We are very grateful to Mr. Bob Barker, that he gave us the ship, which sell in our commitment to the Japanese fleet in those waters, the tide was turned. We thank all our staff and volunteers on land, the members who have supported us and ship crews. We thank the Chilean Navy and the French government for its support. It is a very happy day for all people around the world that the whales and to love our oceans. " It's official - the slaughter of whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary is over for this season and the whalers have not even reached 10% of their quota. Sea Shepherd estimates that were saved over 900 whales this year. made possible the success has, ultimately, the growing budget Walschützer.
From the time the boats have they significantly "upgraded"
The Walschützer were so well equipped as never before: two each over 50 meters long ocean-going vessels, a 35-meter very fast and agile and Trimaran A helicopter made possible the effective obstacle to the whale hunt. After the sinking of a Schneellboots last year in a collision with a whaling ship, the organization had received enough donations for this massive upgrade.

Japan's fishing fleet is sitting on a mountain on the other hand calculations. In addition to over 4000 tons of frozen whale meat lying around for sale, as developed in Japan, an environmental consciousness.
you can trust but not, as in the exploitation of the seas massive financial interests negotiable.
help other hand, only a little more violent strategy, the oracle " New Germany "
This makes this victory also demonstrates how little has been achieved in the fight for the rights of animals by peaceful means, by demonstrations and vigils, petitions, and by appeals to morality and reason. The whalers in Japan care a little about it as well as the beneficiaries of factory farms in Germany and Europe. And with signs of radicalization, the state intervenes, as at present in Austria, where 13 animal rights activists is using a dubious clause terrorism for months on trial.
particularly in the Southern Ocean, there are many other ecological disasters.
now be The rich krill stocks fished industrially - that is whales, extracted from the crab-eating seals and penguins, of course, the basis for life.
extremes injury also sent to the base-trawlers, which drag her up to two kilometers of nets along the ocean floor and destroying the entire ecosystem completely.
Up to 90% of animals killed "by-catch" of any case can not be recycled and disposed of will.
Although many fish stocks are already close to collapse, high-tech industrial fishing fleets continue to scour the oceans. With increasingly effective fishing methods, the last food fish to be collected. But the techniques are costly: More than 30 million tons of bycatch, including juvenile fish, birds, whales and sharks die each year in the nets.
[...] The networks have a cone-like shape, and will end up with a bag to collect the fish in the closed. You will be towed by one or more vessels. For locating fish targets a sonar is used. The network is now next to the pelagic trawl gear in the main deep-sea fishing. The opening of the network with up to 23,000 square feet as big as five football fields, so that up to 12 jumbo jets fit into the opening. A Net charge can be up to 600 tons of fish - as well as huge amounts of by-catch.
( Greenpeace 2004)
of Sylt and Amrum Greenpeace in 2008, hundreds "menhirs" sunk , ie natural stones, corals can settle on which, thrown into the sea.
This is a very local indeed limited but effective method is to avoid trawl fisheries, as tons and tons of boulders would destroy the nets.
The Southern Ocean is but a little further away and is also a bit larger.
great to get it to prime with menhirs.
Another perverse threat life in the Southern Ocean is the long-line fishing, which eradicates the very valuable hake.
addition to the decimation of this "valuable" food fish kills this method of fishing alone in the Southern Ocean around 300,000 large sea birds every year.
in longline fisheries are equipped around 100 km (sic) long lines every few feet with a bait, and pulled behind a boat through the sea.
That's up to 30,000 baited hooks on a leash.
bait who want to pick not only the "big black hake," but albatrosses, seals and penguins like.
This is achieved so far but apparently only the very cautious Orcas, the birds swallow the hook and be drowned.
The long line is horizontal spread between sea and land. It is spread out with different weights and buoys in the water. The hook for the various fishing lines are provided with bait. In the industrial longline fishing are spread over 100 kilometers long and up to 30,000 hooks. Long-line fleets lay about 1.4 billion a year worldwide hook for tuna fishing in - 4 million hooks each day. So in a few years, many stocks of tuna and Patagonian toothfish have been overfished. Even turtles, sharks and sea birds eat the bait and so are also long-line fishing victim. Common by-catch of sea turtles are victims: 250,000 Real turtles and 60,000 leatherbacks die each year as bycatch. The Great Leatherback turtles could be due to the long-line fisheries headed for extinction. Six of the seven marine turtle species are threatened with extinction.

a good impression in the line fisheries in the Antarctic, provides the NDR documentary from 2006 "Titans of the Deep Sea Here Part 4 & 5.

but I think no more of the educational effect.
one can know all that long ago and yet people are buying like crazy deep sea.
Here is more of a Paul Watson asked Method:
Unyielding activists who drive the industry offshore fishermen to the south pole behind and cut the damn lines and nets.
