The Ocean Food Web

The ocean food web is a complex network of interactions between various marine species. It starts with phytoplankton, which are consumed by small fish, which in turn are eaten by larger predators. This intricate system highlights the importance of each species in maintaining ecological balance.

Impact of Disruption

Disruption of the food web can lead to overpopulation of certain species and decline of others, affecting the entire ecosystem. Protecting all levels of the food web is essential for a healthy ocean.
