No new Java stingaree specimens have emerged since the first was discovered over 150 years ago, and it is feared to be [[extinct]].<ref name="iucn status 31 December 2023" /> There is heavy fishing activity within its range, as well as [[habitat degradation]] from the proximity of major population centers. While it is possible that captured specimens have gone unrecognized, if this species still survives its population would almost certainly be gravely imperilled; this has leadled to the [[International Union for Conservation of Nature]] (IUCN) assessing it as Extinct as of 31 March 2023.<ref name="iucn status 31 December 2023" />
