Some of endangered species of our Oceans

Sharks

Sharks are at the top of the food chain, and they help control disease by eating sick fish, thereby preventing the spread of disease within species.

Sea turtle

Sea turtles are endangered because they are accidentally caught in fishing nets or become entangled in them.

They accidentally swallow plastic bags, mistaking them for jellyfish, which are part of their diet.

They are poached for their meat and eggs.

Corals

Corals live in symbiosis with microscopic algae, and without these algae, they could not survive.

They help protect coastlines from waves by absorbing their energy, and from erosion. They serve as important habitats for many species.

Whales

Whales are still hunted, and some unfortunately get caught in fishing nets.

They are true carbon sinks. They capture carbon, and when they die, they carry it to the ocean floor.
