5. Impacts of Biodiversity Loss on Ocean Ecosystem Services (S17)

human use and impact has made us more and more greedy when it comes to taking things out of the water. Human impact can relate directly to the diminishing populations of our fisheries. In this article we first found out the roles of biodiversity in maintaining the ecosystem service to humans. We see our fisheries diminishing directly caused by exploitation, pollution, and habitat destruction, or indirectly through climate change. These changes are all human backed which will slowly decrease the number and diversity of species in our oceans in fisheries and the stability of the ecosystem itself. After many experiments the team concluded that with a higher and more diverse population an ecosystem grows much stronger and stable,  there's a positive correlation between ecosystem diversity and population and species recovery. The more diverse the ecosystem is,then the higher the species count, when the count is higher the different population work together in a manner to boost its ecosystem. If not the loss of diversity brings many horrible things such as; algal blooms, oxygen depletion, shellfish and beach closure. Other problems that could arrive are fishery collapses that is on the everyday rise.

1. Collapsed fisheries recover better in high-diversity ecosystems because it is found that  there is a 20 to 30% enhancement of resource use efficiency.  A diverse ecosystem is much more stable, it is observed to either increase resistance to disturbance or enhanced recovery afterwards. The more diverse the ecosystem gets the more stable it will be
