Northstar legal issues in brief

Greenpeace has been campaigning for more than 20 years to stop oil exploration and drilling in the Beaufort Sea, and our particular focus over the past four years has been BP's Northstar project. Greenpeace has reviewed thousands of documents and permits on the project, and has provided oral and written comment at every stage of the permitting process. In addition to visiting North Slope villages, attending hearings, conducting speaking tours, maintaining a winter protest camp next to the Northstar construction site, organizing shareholder resolutions and letter writing campaigns to stop the project in the public court of opinion, Greenpeace has also launched a number of challenges in Alaska state and U.S. federal courts to challenge and stop the project.
