STORYLINE:
Various demonstrations were held in areas around Heiligendamm in Germany on Thursday one day into the Group of Eight (G-8) summit.
The G-8 gathering is being held under tight security, with Heiligendamm entirely encircled by a 12-kilometre-long (7.5 mile) razor wire-topped fence to keep out protesters.
German police detained a number of protesters on the road between Rostock and Bad Doberan on Thursday morning.
Protesters had erected a blockade on the road using tree trunks as obstacles before conducting a sit down protest.
Police cleared the trees and searched the protesters before detaining them.
AP Television filmed a number of protesters being arrested and several having their hands tied with riot cuffs.
Meanwhile, in Boergerende a minor scuffle broke out between security and protesters. Police in protective clothing observed other protesters in the area.
Offshore, Greenpeace activists in a high-speed inflatable boat led security vessels on a chase before being intercepted in the Baltic Sea within sight of the shore.
In another boat, several activists, dressed in yellow flotation outfits, went overboard briefly after being pursued by police.
The people in the boat held a banner reading, “G-8 Act Now.”
A Greenpeace spokesman said the group wanted to give the leaders a petition urging them to set concrete climate goals even without the G-8.
Authorities have sealed off the waters and airspace around the summit as part of security precautions for the summit.
Germany is spending $124.32 million (m) US dollars on the summit and has deployed 16-thousand police officers, along with scores of armoured personnel carriers, trucks with water-cannons atop and other support vehicles.
