On this, her third, voyage to India the Rainbow Warrior visited both
Chennai and Paradip. The crew was witness to an overwhelming spirit of
participation as several different groups and coastal communities came
onboard to visit.
During this tour, Greenpeace focussed on the Gulf of Mannar and the Bitharkanika Sanctuary, highlighting the biodiversity and the threats these iconic marine hotspots face. The mainstays of the tour were also dialogues on the management of network of marine reserves, an introduction to seamounts - the submerged mountains of our seas.
The Rainbow Warrior provided a unique platform for the convergence of a cross-section of groups and communities directly involved in the protection of our seas. Bearing in mind the importance of reaching out to youngsters and raising awareness, the tour involved more than 2500 people, including school and college students, eco-clubs and other concerned citizens.
Part of the Rainbow Warrior's tour was to enable a signigicant fact-finding mission; a multi-disciplinary team was involved in the research and documentation of the mysterious phenomenon of mass-congregation of Olive Ridley Turtles off the coast of Orissa.
