Stock Photo - 13 January 2021, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Warnemünde: The Greenpeace ship ""Esperanza"" is moored in Warnemünde, where it was loaded with 20 large field stones, according to the water police. In July 2020, Greenpeace had sunk granite stones off the island of Rügen in the Baltic Sea in the Adlergrund nature reserve. In this way, the environmental protection organization wanted to protect the protected area from damage caused by fishing with bottom trawls. A few days ago, the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH), among others, issued a cease-and-desist order prohibiting the sinking of the stones in the coastal waters of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and in the German Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea with immediate effect.
