Are the coelacanths okay?

Not really. In 1995, results from a dive counted about 40 coelacanths. The number has changed since then, but coelacanths are still nowhere near abundant. South African fisherman who fish for oilfish sometimes catch a coelacanth by accident. Without the strength to swim hundreds of meters back to their habitat, they usually die. Some of them get sold to scientists. As far as we know, coelacanths are very rare. Prior to around 1940, we thought they were extinct. They are still in danger.
