東北大西洋、加那利群島的特內里費島沿岸，一隻被廢棄漁網纏住的赤蠵龜正在泅泳。赤蠵龜被國際自然保護聯盟列為全球性的「易危」物種，但在東北大西洋的亞族群卻被登記為「瀕危」物種。海龜所面對的最大生存威脅是那些捕捉其他物種的漁網和漁船丟棄的漁具，次要威脅則是人類食用海龜肉與海龜蛋，同時海岸開發也影響了牠們的棲地。

A loggerhead sea turtle swims entangled in abandoned fishing gear, off the coast of Tenerife, Canary Islands, in the northeast Atlantic Ocean. The loggerhead is classed as a ‘vulnerable’ species globally by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, but the northeast Atlantic subpopulation is listed as ‘endangered’. Entrapment in nets intended for other species, and in gear left abandoned by fishing boats is the prime threat to marine turtles, followed by human consumption of meat and eggs, and coastal development affecting their habitat.
