Answer:

The collapse of local fisheries, because of the damage to coral reefs from ocean acidification

Explanation:

An ecosystem is made up of living organisms and the non-living elements in their physical environments. An ecosystem has complex relationships where organisms feed on plants, and on each other. Global warming is the gradual increase in the earth's average temperatures as a result of the emission of carbon dioxide, greenhouses gases, and other pollutants.

Ocean acidification results directly from the increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere due to human activity. The cardon dioxide dissolves in the water particles and ends in the sea as carbonic acid, causing ocean acidification.

The coral reef forms an ecosystem that provides food and enables fish to survive in the oceans. Carbonic acid and its ocean acidification effect destroy the food chain relations in the coral reef. The acid destroys the reefs and kills the fish resulting in the collapse of the fisheries industries.
