Habitat Destruction

Habitat destruction is one of the main causes of high death rates in organisms, be it terrestrial or marine. This can be caused by acts such as sewage distribution into water ways and water bodies and this can damage coral reefs which are the main habitats for most organisms as well as kill the corals themselves. This can cause a huge disruption in food webs as it endangers the life there. When the pH of the water changes it can abruptly affect the organisms as their bodies can actually implode due to wrong concentrations of the pH. There is also dumping of plastics and items that are not biodegradable into the marine body which can harm the organisms as stated before. There is only so much that can be done in the case of rehabilitation if these processes are allowed to continue and basically there will always be a loss of life, be it large or small in number. Dumping of litter can cover the seabeds and can physically damage the organisms which reside there such as bottom feeders in that regard.
