Environmental protesters from Extinction Rebellion and Stop Croisieres blocked Marseille’s cruise ship port on Saturday, protesting against the air, sea, and climate pollution caused by large cruise vessels. The protest, which involved a canoe blockade, disrupted ship traffic for several hours, forcing one vessel to dock elsewhere and delaying others before the port reopened later in the morning.
