Big Ships Will Soon Be Banned From Venice's Historic Center
ROME (AP) — Italy has moved ahead with plans to block big cruise
ships from sailing past Venice's historic center, authorizing an
environmental study for an alternate route that it hopes will still
satisfy the city's key tourism industry.
Cruise ships currently can pass within 300 meters (1,000 feet) of Venice's iconic St. Mark's Square, granting a stunning view to those aboard but presenting a jarring sight against the backdrop of Venice's Byzantine architecture.
Residents, activists and environmentalists have long opposed cruise ship traffic in Venice.

New satellite data reveals sea-level rise
The city of Venice is investing billions in a new flood defence system to protect against sea level rises
(CNN) -- Sea-levels are rising unevenly around the world, with Pacific countries in particular suffering significant increases over the past two decades, according to accurate new satellite data.
On average, global
sea-levels have been rising at about three millimeters (mm) a year,
however, this masks large differences between regions of the world.
