Answer: this would affect ocean life

Step-by-step explanation:
If sunlight were blocked from an area of the ocean, The organisms that depend on photosynthesis like algae or seaweed would die because sunlight is no longer reaching them and animals that depend on algae for food would also die causing a chain reaction to occur in the oceans food system.
