" Loài rùa biển đang đứng trước nguy cơ bị tận diệt, các mối đe dọa lớn đối với rùa biển hiện nay gồm: Mất bãi đẻ do hoạt động của con người, mất trứng do các động vật ăn thịt và con người, ô nhiễm và rác thải trên biển, nguy hại nhất là túi nilon...nếu rùa biển ăn nhầm không tiêu hóa thì sẽ bị chết". Bà Bùi Thị Thu Hiền, Điều phối viên chương trình biển và vùng bờ(IUCN) cho biết.
Most species of sea turtle are endangered. One of the most significant threats now comes from catching due to imprecise fishing methods. Long-lining has been identified as a major cause of accidental sea turtle deaths. There is also black-market demand for tortoiseshell for both decoration and supposed health benefits. Climate change may also cause a threat to sea turtles.

Of the seven species of sea turtles, all are listed on the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species as either "endangered" or "critically endangered." Although sea turtles usually lay around one hundred eggs at a time, on average only one of the eggs from the nest will survive to adulthood. While many of the things that endanger these hatchlings are natural, such as predators including sharks, raccoons, foxes, and seagulls, many new threats to the sea turtle species have recently arrived and increased with the ever-growing presence of humans.
