October 21st, 1999 - Greenpeace today joined Inupiat Eskimos living on Alaska's North Slope to file a lawsuit to challenge BP Amoco's drilling for oil in the Arctic Ocean off Alaska's north coast. The lawsuit challenges the US Federal Government for permitting the project on the grounds that it lacks an adequate oil spill plan and jeopardizes the marine and coastal environment of the Arctic Ocean, and the Inupiat subsistence way of life.
