Endangered Species Endangered Marine Animal Species Of The World

The animals of the world's oceans are under threat from human interference with their habitats, as well as from a lack of concerted and enforceable conservation efforts. Many species have been hunted to the edge of extinction, while others continue to be over-fished despite the clear evidence that such harvesting is unsustainable. Efforts are being made in countries around the world, but the ocean is not under the sovereign control of any nation, so it will take an cooperative, international effort to protect the many marine species that we all depend on to keep the ecosystem in balance and to provide food for the human population.
