Nautilus numbers are going down drastically in the Philippines and regions because of their treasured shells. "Unregulated fishing is a huge issue for these animals," said Frederick Dooley, a researcher and instructor in the UW Department of Biology. Last year near New Guinea, Ward and his team members found a rare Nautilus species for the first time in 30 years. Ward and His team used bait and traps to attract the creatures, they had not found that rare species since the early 1980s. This affects me because the Nautilus genetic makeup leads to many more special sea creatures. Nautilus are only wanted for their shells, so basically they are dying and none of their meat is values. Killing them i a waste of life.
