Protecting tuna is not just about dressing up as sharks and exposing the companies selling unsustainable tinned tuna.

Our ship the Esperanza is currently on the high seas in the Pacific to find, document and take action against illegal and unsustainable fishing throughout this region.

Fancy a practice session with the world’s number one footballer Lionel Messi, or maybe you’d like backstage passes to a Jamiroquai concert in Paris? Or perhaps you would prefer a Picasso to hang on your wall, or a signed print of an original Greenpeace photograph?

Yesterday's handover ceremony for the Rainbow Warrior II was an emotional affair. As you can see from the images above, one or two tears were shed as she was handed over to her new owners.

With the Rainbow Warrior II renamed Rongdhonu and sailing off for a new career as a medical vessel, the launch of her replacement - Rainbow Warrior III - is imminent. We're still raising funds for our new vessel so please make a donation to keep a rainbow campaigning on the ocean waves.

After 52 years at sea - with 22 years as a Greenpeace ship - the current Rainbow Warrior is heading for a new life. Over the last few days the bell was removed, the ship’s dolphin mascot taken down and the Rainbow Warrior’s named painted over.

For twenty two years she’s been our trusty workhorse, a symbol of inspiration, a bringer of hope and a home for her hundreds of crew. But now it’s time for the Rainbow Warrior to move on and we'd like to collect memories from everyone who has sailed, seen or simply been inspired by her.
