Hawaii’s endangered species of fish and sea life include the Hawaiian ladyfish, the goatfish, the parrotfish and several species of invertebrates such as coral, lobsters, squid, octopuses and oysters. It also includes various marine reptiles such as green sea turtles, leatherback turtles, loggerhead turtles and yellow-bellied sea snakes. Sea creatures are threatened by overfishing, habitat loss and pollution. In addition, sea turtles are vulnerable to the illegal shell trade, consumption of turtle eggs, beach-dredging, beach recreation and other activities that either prevent turtles from reaching the shore or endanger their eggs and young.
