Boat parade protests pollution

At least 30 boats of all sizes paraded across Rio de Janeiro's Guanabara Bay on Saturday to protest contamination in the waters where sailing events will take place next year during the Olympic Games. Sailboats, schooners, tourist boats, canoes and fishing boats made a 12-kilometer round trip from the Marina da Gloria on Guanabara Bay to Urca, a neighborhood at the foot of Rio's iconic Sugarloaf Mountain.
