Taylor's garden eel [SEP] IUCN conservation status
Conservation status.
The IUCN redlist currently lists Taylor's garden eel as Data Deficient, due to a lack of information on the population statistics. It is suspected that the population, due to its tendency to inhabit seagrass meadows, may be at risk on behalf of threats affecting seagrass in the region of Indonesia.
Raitt's sand eel fishing has been debated. Census data has shown that seabird populations as a whole are not negatively impacted by sand eel fisheries. Some has suggested that the observed declines in seabirds such as puffins were isolated incidences that do not represent the whole population.
Conservation status.
The Raitt's sand eel is currently not assessed by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
