Blue Nature Alliance aims to restore 7 million square miles of ocean in five years CNN 1 hr ago By Nell Lewis, CNN © From Ron Vave/Conservation International Areas currently targeted for protection by the Blue Nature Alliance include the Navatu Reef in Fiji s Lau Seascape, pictured here. The ocean covers more than 70% of our planet, a total of 139 million square miles. An initiative launched on Tuesday aims to protect 5% of it in the next five years. That might sound like a drop, but at 7 million square miles, it s a larger area than the entire continent of South America. And considering that by some estimates less than 3% of global ocean is currently fully protected, both the target and the timeframe is ambitious.
