Before they were listed as Endangered Species, turtle fishery was very popular in the Carribbean and caused sea turtle populations to plummet significantly. On top of this, sea turtles have experienced much habitat loss, especially of the coral reefs where they find much of their food. This destruction of the reefs occurs mainly because of pollution in the water and ships that hit the reef.
