A Greenpeace activist inspects the spilled crude oil from the sunken Prestige tanker.

We can't give you the details at the moment, but Greenpeace is taking action now to prevent yet another disaster like the one that is still unfolding off the Spanish, Portuguese, and French coasts. Our campaigners are on their way, some of them the same activists who witnessed the ecological devastation from the Prestige spill and who helped with the cleanup in Spain. Sickened by what they saw, they're making sure that another avoidable accident doesn't happen.
