organisms, and direct killing. The marine species are no exception to the human acceleration in extinction either by the general benefit received by them, but only those classified as more valuable that other species get a voice to classify them as endangered while the other are extinct. The extinction marine life has come to great value to some scientist and few people within the last few years, since the world is covered in just about 75% of water, all marine species are difficult to perceive.
