But other contributing factors to their include coastal development, egg poaching, ocean pollution and global warming.
UNESCO-IOC is pledging to coordinate a global and regional assessment of capacity development needs in the field of marine scientific research and ocean observation in developing nations and SIDS, leading to the formulation and implementation of a global capacity development strategy to fill identified gaps.
"You should see this like being in 1915 when the pioneers were trying to do these first cross-country flights - still unable to cross the ocean, but an important step for the development of aviation, " Mr Borschberg said.
Progress on the development of a global observing network on ocean acidification was discussed during a NOAA side event.

It aims to encourage Member States to renew their political commitment to ocean health ahead of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development which will take place in Rio de Janeiro in June 2012.
She underlined that ocean sustainability would be a key dimension of the post-2015 development agenda.
Global efforts to collect and analyze scientific data also allow for the development of the predictive capacity for climate change and the ocean responses, and provide scientific support to governments to mitigate the losses caused by marine hazards.
In addition, he says, investment is needed in research and development to take the industry to the next level to build bigger ocean-going vessels.
"Even if we pour all our earnings into the Delta - into development and infrastructure - it would still be a drop in the ocean, " said Sunmonu.
Some of the key areas highlighted included marine biodiversity conservation, ocean acidification, marine pollution, and the required investment in science and capacity development for transitioning to a blue-green economy.
UNESCO-IOC has for over 50 years been promoting international cooperation and coordinating programmes in marine research, services, observation systems, hazard mitigation, and capacity development in order to understand and effectively manage the resources of the ocean and coastal areas.
With the generous support of Wendy Schmidt, we will be launching a global competition for the development of effective and affordable pH sensors to profoundly improve our knowledge of ocean chemistry and the understanding of the global effects of ocean acidification.
One of these proposals is the development of a global programme aimed at greater protection and restoration of vital ocean and coastal habitats, and of a global blue carbon market as a means of creating direct economic gain through habitat protection.
The IOC provides strategic counsel and guidance to member nations on matters of ocean governance in such areas as marine research, observation systems, hazard mitigation and capacity development.
The Blueprint for Ocean and Coastal Sustainability was produced jointly by UNESCO - IOC, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
'promote international cooperation and to coordinate programmes in research, services and capacity building, in order to learn more about the nature and resources of the ocean and coastal areas and to apply that knowledge for the improvement of management, sustainable development and protection of the marine environment and the decision-making process of its Member States'.
Blue-green economies are an important means to achieve what sustainable development ultimately aims at: the wellbeing of people while respecting the environment, including ocean and water-related aspects.
The Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (UNESCO-IOC) promotes international cooperation and coordinates programmes in marine research, services, observation systems, hazard mitigation and capacity development in order to learn more and better manage the nature and resources of the ocean and coastal areas.
The very first entry point to discuss ocean governance at Rio was a side event of the Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation for Sustainable Development on 12 June, focusing on Science and Governance for Global Sustainability.
