Blue Nature Alliance aims to restore 7 million square miles of ocean in five years

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.

Toy fund volunteer already looking forward to next year

Toy fund volunteer already looking forward to next year The highlight for volunteers always comes in late December, when parents come to pick up toys they will give to their children. Therese Drapeau of Freeport just finished her second year volunteering with the Press Herald Toy Fund. She’ll be back. And she is encouraging others to join the fun next year. “We can always welcome more volunteers,” Drapeau said. It can be hard work, especially this year when social distancing meant smaller teams on each shift sorting, packing and handing out the toys. But, said Drapeau, “It’s like a little family. … It’s actually a lot of fun.”
