The Countess Markievicz sea kayak is one of many used in various voyages and flotillas to protest against Shell sea dredgers and pipe-laying ships, to name but a few actions.
‘The kayakers made directly for the Solitaire, dodging Shell and safety boats, and came within 100 metres of the pipelaying ship which immediately left the area, roughly ten miles off the Mayo Coast. This was the culmination of a day of action against the Solitaire.’
