Answer 1

Answer:

Many marine species need to live in a certain range of water temperatures to survive. If the ocean temperature rises, this could possibly mean that a certain type of species that needs a certain temperature to survive will die. This throws off the ecosystem because each marine species has a certain job in the Great Barrier Reef, and a species dying off means that job would be unfulfilled, throwing off the ecosystem. The marine animals will also migrate to cooler places, which also means throwing off the ecosystem. Pollution can also potentially wipe out many marine animals, or even perhaps an entire species. For example, marine animals mistake plastic for food and end up starving to death because they cannot digest the plastic and they feel full when they aren't. This not only means that the jobs are unfulfilled, but it would also mean less prey for animals further up the food chain. Human interference destroys coral, which is destroying many marine animals' habitats and will cause the reef to die. Humans also add to pollution and contribute to overfishing, throwing off the ecosystem as more dead zones emerge and the amount of marine species living there decreases.
