Background
The plight of threatened marine animals gained global attention in the mid-20th century as industrial fishing, pollution, and habitat destruction escalated. Landmark studies in the 1970s and 1980s, such as those documenting the decline of whale and sea turtle populations, catalyzed international concern. Subsequent research and monitoring by organizations like the IUCN have revealed the widespread vulnerability of diverse marine species, prompting ongoing reassessment of conservation priorities and international policy responses.
