Leonardo DiCaprio vows to donate 7 mln dollars to save ocean
Actor Leonardo DiCaprio has devoted himself to ocean protection.
DiCaprio spoke at the U.S. State Council's "Our Ocean" conference, telling his audience that he has "witnessed environmental devastation firsthand" in the oceans.
Since my very first dive in the Great Barrier Reef in Australia 20 years ago to the dive I got to do in the very same location just two years ago, I've witnessed environmental devastation firsthand. What once had looked like an endless underwater utopia is now riddled with bleached coral reefs and massive dead zones.
The conference coincided with U.S. President Barack Obama's new action against overfishing and environmental damage.
Obama gave a speech at the conference through a video message.
Meantime, DiCaprio pledged to donate 7 million dollars from his foundation in the next two years.
The money is said to be spent on meaningful ocean conservation projects.

HBO's vampire series "True Blood" is coming to an end.
Stars of the show have attended the premiere of the seventh and final season.
A blast of fresh faces made their debut last night, indicating the final season will include a lot of new characters.
Among them is actress Paula Jai Parker.
"Everyone gets to leave with a bang. Everyone gets their final farewell. And it's a beautiful thing. There were so many tears on the set. Me, being a newbie, I vicariously felt every single goodbye. And everyone got their love, everyone got their just exit."
Though the TV version of the show is concluded, fans can still expect another fresh bite, "True Blood: The Musical".
Nathan Barr is now working on the project.
He has written the music for the series' entire seven seasons.
"This was something that I pitched to HBO and Alan Ball, and they were intrigued enough to sort of give me a period of two years to come up with an idea, a pitch, some songs. And then, about a year from now, we'll be presenting that to HBO in a workshop."
Barr says the musical will revolve around Sookie Stackhouse, and it will most likely not involve any of the complicated developments in the later seasons.
The final season of "True Blood" will start airing on Sunday.
