Removal of coral and fish will cause a great threat to the ocean ecosystem .
Step-by-step explanation:
- Biodiversity of the marine ecosystem will be markedly reduced
- Marine food web will be affected leading to scarcity of food at each level
- Mean trophic level of the ecosystem will be affected
- The ocean chemistry will be changed
- Habitat destruction of fishes which will affect other aquatic organisms living in the ocean
- Increases ocean acidification and ocean carbon concentration
- The animals interdependent on ocean ecosystem for food like some seal, walrus, and sea birds are affected due to scarcity of food through fishes
- Corals are filter feeders and removing them will lead to eutrophication of coastal waters which in turn leads to algal bloom
- Algal bloom leads to depletion of the ocean’s oxygen level
- Corals are natural barriers and provide natural protection to shorelines and coastal landforms, removal will endanger the coastlines during floods, hurricanes, etc
