What ocean animals are at risk of becoming extinct?

In: Endangered Species, Saltwater Fish, Aquatic Mammals

[Edit]

Would like to add that Sea lions, Sharks are also at a higher risk.

Answer

The most important and tiny species is the PENGUIN.

I have heard that many of them are, including:

Polar bears - considered an aquatic species
Dolphins - they get caught in fishing nets
Whales - are still being hunted and killed despite new laws
Manatees - they get run over by motor boat propellors
Salmon - loss of spawning habitat
Most all commercial fish - like tuna, etc., from over-fishing
