2. Hector’s dolphin
7,400 believed to be alive in the coastal waters off New Zealand
listed by the IUCN as a "red list" endangered species
Why Hector's dolphins are in trouble: Bycatch, pollutants and boat disturbance.

3. Loggerhead sea turtle Fishing gear is the sea turtles' worst enemy
loss of habitat and climate change also play a large role in putting these species in jeopardy
The loggerhead is one of the many species of sea turtles that are endangered

4. Manatee The sea’s gentle giant A vegetarian
Fewer than 3,000 in existence
Largest population of manatee is in Florida
Human pollution plays a large role in the endangerment of these sea animals

5. Southern Sea Otter
While Northern Sea Otters have an impressive population of roughly 77,000, fewer than 3,000 Southern Sea Otters live off the coast of California.
The biggest threats to sea otters came in the past, when the fur trade caused their numbers to drop drastically from more than 1 million to fewer than 2,000.
Threats today include oil spills, habitat loss, loss of food, disease, entanglement in fishing gear and conflict with other ocean animals.

6. Gray Whale
Known for their dorsal humps instead of fins these 50-foot whales are also notable for their moans, and other vocalizations
Centuries of excessive fishing have left these beautiful animals almost extinct
Today, gray whales are protected by law
Hopefully we can see an increase in gray whale population

7. Cape Penguin Penguin breeds in Africa
Known for their loud call donkey- like call (referred to as donkey penguins)
Loss of nesting sites, oil spills and food loss due to overfishing are a major threat to cape penguins
