		By contrast, the short-beaked common dolphin in the Mediterranean Sea was listed as 'endangered' in 2003 in the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Animals.
		It is suggested that several factors may be contributing to the decline of this species in the Mediterranean, including prey depletion caused by overfishing, habitat degradation from human activity, the accumulation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), bycatch in fishing gear such as industrial trawls, gillnets and illegal driftnets, and perhaps even climate change.
		The fate of the remaining animals is dependent upon the adoption of a coordinated framework between governments and the implementation of precautionary conservation and management measures.

	The Sea Slug Forum - Velutinidae - are they sea slugs?
		Lamellariids, or as they now should be called, velutinids,(formerly Family Lamellariidae), are caenogastropod snails, closely related to the Triviidae.
		In most velutinids the shell is open and flattened, much like a small abalone shell (Haliotidae), and at least partially enveloped by the fleshy mantle.
		In most cases when they are crawling a pair of head tentacles will emerge from beneath the body, instantly showing that these are not opisthobranch sea slugs.
