Sawfish

Like their cousins the sharks, sawfish grow slowly, mature late and bear few young. This makes them very vulnerable to overexploitation. With their tooth-studded snouts, sawfish often become entangled in fishing gear and die as unwanted "bycatch." Scientists have concluded that this sawfish population has declined by as much as 99 percent and is in danger of extinction.

Sea Turtles

From leatherbacks to loggerheads, seven species of sea turtles swim the world's oceans - with the exception of the Australian flatback, all are listed as threatened or endangered. Sadly, they face many dangers as they travel the seas - like getting caught in fishing gear meant for other animals, the loss of nesting and feeding sites, directed hunting and pollution.
