On Tuesday evening (18th) a demonstration was carried out against a ship in Falmouth Harbour.

Newly formed protest movement Ocean Rebellion has taken to the seas against The World luxury apartment cruise liner, currently moored in Falmouth Harbour.

Ocean Rebellion took to the waters on Tuesday and projected a series of films onto The World luxury ship with messages "sort your ship out" and "the world is destroying our world" the protesters were accompanied by a polar bear who boarded the ships bulbous bow joining the call for cruise shipping to stop.

Sophie Miller of Extinction Rebellion Falmouth said:

"The oceans are the lungs of the world, it creates our weather and life on the planet began there. And yet many of us have a real disconnect from it now.

"I feel it's so important to create and participate in actions like these to raise awareness and to engage people in a wider conversation about the seas and our future. With the melting of the Greenland ice shelf and the fact we are currently on track to significantly overshoot 1.5 degrees of warming, this is more important than ever.

"I'm just a human and a mother who wants a habitable planet for the future."
