Marine birds  and mammals include charismatic species and species that are economically, culturally and ecologically important . Their long generation times and slow population growth suggests limited evolutionary resilience to rapid climate change . According to the Red List Species Assessments of the International Union for Conservation of Nature , the greatest current hazards to these groups include human use of biological resources and areas, invasive species and pollution . Impacts of climate change and severe weather are ranked among the five most-important hazards influencing 131 and 45 bird and mammal species, respectively , including 24 bird and 7 mammal species that are currently listed as endangered, critically endangered or threatened. Furthermore, according to these IUCN assessments, climate change and severe weather are expected to impact an additional 122 and 18 marine bird and mammal species over the next 50-100 years, respectively .
