Officially Listed as Endangered, Sturgeon Are on the Slow Way Back. January 31, 2012 Brad Sewell. Our oceans are home to any number of remarkable, even bizarre, creatures. Today, one of the countryâs largestâthe Atlantic sturgeonâhas officially been protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
A species is considered endangered if, in the foreseeable future, it could become extinct, according to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Globally, there are over 2,000 endangered species in the oceans, including fish, plants, turtles, mammals and invertebrates, as stated by NOAA fisheries. Some endangered fish include bluefin tuna and beluga sturgeon, both of which have been fished to endangered status by humans.
