We do not republish articles from The Guardian. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
Read the original article on theguardian.com (opens in a new tab)The Guardian reports that Greenpeace dropped about 15 tonnes of boulders on the planned Norfolk Vanguard windfarm site in a campaign against bottom trawling, and that the developer RWE is checking what this means for construction. The article says what the campaign is for, keeps the possible delay hedged, and gives Greenpeace's rebuttal in full. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“to safeguard harbour porpoises off the Norfolk coast by dropping giant stone blocks, each weighing up to 2 tonnes, on to the sea floor to prevent a method of fishing known as bottom trawling”
The Guardian says plainly what the campaigners want and why they acted, so the reader is not left guessing about the protest's purpose.
“may delay”
The headline keeps the delay as a possibility, which matches a body where RWE is still investigating and Greenpeace disputes any real obstacle.
“energy companies routinely move naturally occurring boulders from the seabed before building windfarms”
The article gives the campaigners' answer to the suggestion of harm in their own words, so the reader can weigh the claimed obstacle against a specific counterpoint.
