===After Amchitka===
After the office in the Stowe home, (and after the first concert fund-raiser) Greenpeace functions moved to other private homes and held public meetings weekly on Wednesday nights at the Kitsilano Neighborhood House before settling, in the autumn of 1974, in a small office shared with the SPEC environmental group at 2007 West 4th at Maple in [[Kitsilano]]. When the nuclear tests at Amchitka were over, Greenpeace moved its focus to the French atmospheric [[nuclear weapons testing]] at the [[Moruroa|Moruroa Atoll]] in [[French Polynesia]]. The young organization needed help for their protests and were contacted by [[David McTaggart]], a former businessman living in New Zealand. In 1972 the yacht ''Vega'', a {{convert|12.5|m|ft|adj=on}} ketch owned by [[David McTaggart]], was renamed ''Greenpeace III'' and sailed in an anti-nuclear protest into the exclusion zone at Moruroa to attempt to disrupt French nuclear testing. This voyage was sponsored and organized by the New Zealand branch of the [[Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament]].<ref>''Making Waves, the Greenpeace New Zealand Story'' by Michael Szabo {{ISBN?}}</ref> The [[French Navy]] tried to stop the protest in several ways, including assaulting David McTaggart. McTaggart was supposedly beaten to the point that he lost sight in one of his eyes. However, one of McTaggart's crew members photographed the incident and went public. After the assault was publicized, France announced it would stop the atmospheric nuclear tests.<ref name=Brown-May/>

In the mid-1970s some Greenpeace members started an independent campaign, Project Ahab, against commercial [[whaling]], since Irving Stowe was against Greenpeace focusing on other issues than nuclear weapons.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_XC_AAAAQBAJ&q=ahab&pg=PT936|title=International Human Rights: A Comprehensive Introduction|last=Haas|first=Michael|year=2013|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1135005788|language=en|access-date=21 October 2020|archive-date=22 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210522111039/https://books.google.com/books?id=_XC_AAAAQBAJ&q=ahab&pg=PT936|url-status=live}}</ref> After Irving Stowe died in 1975, the ''Phyllis Cormack'' sailed from Vancouver to face Soviet whalers on the coast of California. Greenpeace activists disrupted the whaling by placing themselves between the harpoons and the whales, and footage of the protests spread across the world. Later in the 1970s, the organization widened its focus to include [[toxic waste]] and commercial [[seal hunting]].<ref name=Brown-May/>

The "Greenpeace [[Declaration of Interdependence]]" was published by Greenpeace in the ''Greenpeace Chronicles'' (Winter 1976–77). This declaration was a condensation of a number of ecological manifestos [[Robert Hunter (journalist)|Bob Hunter]] had written over the years.
