Jeju islanders protest Japan’s radioactive water discharge

“Twelve fishing vessels helmed by members of local ship owners’ associations, female divers (“haenyeo” in Korean) and young locals set out from Jocheon near the popular Hamdeok Beach on the northern coast of the island. The charging ships ploughed through waves while national flags and yellow banners fluttered in the wind. The banners contained messages like “If the sea dies, Jeju dies as well,” “All Koreans disagree,” “Let’s protect Jeju’s waters” and “Oceans aren’t Japan’s dumping grounds for radioactive waste.”
