Listed here are just 10 marine species that are protected as endangered, the first 4 of which are critically endangered. Critically endangered is only one category away from complete extinction. While these animals have been given protection by environmental and government agencies, we all share the responsibility to make sure we personally cause no harm to these species. There are many programs in place to aid these creatures if you would like to contribute more to their cause.
