In a personal criticism of Greenpeace and similar organizations, Alex Clarke treats attempts to stop other activities at sea as a maritime-security problem. He calls the tactics "protest terrorism" and suggests they could fall under terrorism laws at sea, without identifying a legal ruling. He attributes much of the damage to accidental mishandling of valves or controls, while also questioning activists' intentions and competence. These are his allegations and judgments about protest tactics, including a distinction between deliberate obstruction and the way damage occurs.
