[NightTrain]

God, do we hate these people up here in Alaska! If only they'd stay in California. I think this is great & we nail them for a hefty fine.

KETCHIKAN - State environmental officials say the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise broke Alaska law by not filing an oil spill response plan or having a certificate of financial responsibility.

The ship was ordered to anchor until both requirements are met, Department of Environmental Conservation spokeswoman Lynda Giguere said.

An investigation is being conducted to decide whether a fine will be levied, she said.

The Arctic Sunrise is carrying Greenpeace activists through Southeast Alaska to protest logging in the Tongass National Forest. It docked in Ketchikan earlier this week. -SNIP-
