Leatherbacks are threatened species for several reasons:
- Leatherback Turtles are endangered from plastic waste in the water. The turtles swallow floating plastic bags thinking they are jellyfish. This causes them to suffocate.
- Overfishing
- People kill them for their shells to make products

They also choke to death when they mistake plastic bags for jellyfish or they try to eat other plastic objects.
