The Insulate Britain protesters who blocked the Port of Dover this morning included a Labour councillor, a bricklayer with a multi-million pound property empire and a mother who have all previously been arrested during the eco-mob's demonstrations.
More than 40 activists across two groups blocked the A20 road in Kent which provides access to the Port of Dover.
Kent Police made 17 arrests and the port was reopened just after 11am.
Photos from the scene show several of the same protesters who were previously at the group's M25 protests which hit the motorway around London five times in just over a week.
Among them was Insulate Britain ringleader Liam Norton's mother, who is a Labour councillor and climate activist.
Theresa Norton, 62, is a Labour councillor in Scarborough, north Yorkshire and told neighbours she was going on a two-week holiday before heading south to bring the country's busiest motorway to a standstill.
Since joining protesters, it is understood Ms Norton has been arrested on four separate occasions between Monday, September 13 and Monday, September 20.
Photos from Dover appeared to show her being carried away by police officers today.

Also at the port shutdown was eco-hypocrite Joshua Smith. Smith attended several protests in the past week and was branded a hypocrite after it emerged he owned a multi-million pound property empire - but the homes had poor insulation, an issue at the heart of the group's agenda.
The 28-year-old is heir to a £2million property empire and also has a seven-figure portfolio of his own. However, at least six homes owned by his Oldham-based company have efficiency ratings of E or F, according to the Sun.
This means the properties boast little or no insulation and also produce large quantities of extra carbon dioxide.
