Disruptive protest within the maritime-security threat range

A critical assessment of maritime protest places disruptive activity toward the lower end of the maritime-security threat range.

Notes

Alex Clarke characterises Greenpeace and similar organisations as sources of disruptive protest at sea, toward the lower end of the maritime-security threat range. He alleges that much of the damage associated with their protests comes from mistakes with valves, controls, or equipment, without identifying particular incidents. His phrase "protest terrorism" links efforts to stop activities at sea with terrorism laws. No specific legal provision is supplied to establish that classification.
