Economy declines due to loss of marine life

Marine Species can have a huge impact on the life of humans. This goes largely unnoticed in society as it doesn't  seem to be prevalent over luxuries.Species such as lobsters, fish, crabs all live ecosystems that can be disturbed due to debris being dumped in waterways. Because of the amount of debris littered in the waterways, this can cause a change in pH and salinity levels that can cause death to organisms.Since dumping of rubbish causes a decline in species population, economies can be affected as many marine critters are consumed as food, since fish is a large protein source for those mainly living on the coasts. Because marine animal populations are decreasing, fishermen will not get the amount of catch they usually get per day and thus result in these fishermen losing their jobs.
