From 1900-2010, freshwater fish species in North America went extinct at a rate 877 times faster than the rate found in the fossil record, while estimates indicate the rate may double between now and 2050. The reason is spelled very simply MAN.
What's happening in the Marine environment?
As of January 2011, 113 marine species and sub-species were formally listed as being at risk or vulnerable to extinction, including:
56 birds
37 fish
15 mammals
3 invertebrates
2 reptiles
Pretty much the same for marine, spelled the same too; MAN.
Hope stripers don't go the way of the doto bird.
