Threatened and Endangered Species

The following are the 620 marine animal species or species populations on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as of 1-13-10 listed as either Extinct, Critically Endangered, Endangered, or Vulnerable. Near Threatened, Least Concern and those listed as Data Deficient have been excluded though they are likely to end up on this list in the future.Endangered North Atlantic right whale, Eubalaena glacialis

These are just the marine species known to be in trouble and are likely to be just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, based on how little we currently know about life in the ocean. Click a species' scientific name for the IUCN Red List species page and its version link for a page describing the associated species-specific codes. Linked bolded common names represent existing species home pages on marinebio.org.

If you would like to help create home pages for those below (especially the groupers, skates, corals and marine birds), please email us at info@marinebio.org
