21/23 There is an uncomfortable precedent here. If one group concludes it can physically intervene at sea because it believes the state is not enforcing policy strongly enough, another group can make exactly the same argument about another cause tomorrow. Maritime law can't function like that.

22/23 The sea is already an unforgiving environment. We created safeguards precisely because it kills people. Political protest ashore is one thing. Entering an active rescue operation and physically interfering with vessels is something very different.

The only thing I would dispute in your excellent thread is that protest on land is something very different. When protests blockade lifeboat stations& intimidate rescue workers it puts lives in danger just as seriously. And it needs to be treated as seriously by law enforcement.

23/23 That is my takeaway from this. The moment private political actors begin physically interfering with SAR operations, the Coastguard / rescue services now has another threat to manage. And every additional threat consumes attention and assets and endangers more lives.
