Threatened Species & Habitats

Globally, marine species including sharks, marine mammals, sea turtles and the largest fishes are facing increasing threats from climate change, pollution, overfishing, and habitat loss. Scientists have found a strong link between large body size and extinction threat in our oceans today. The Sea of Change Foundation is working to support projects that actively protect such marine animals for future generations.
