Baby clownfish are unable to avoid predators in the coral reef. This is because of the increase in acids in the ocean. Large amounts of CO2 has been absorbed into the ocean because of the Industrial Revolution. The excessive CO2 is lowering the Ph level, and harming the fish. The CO2 can also make the fish lose their smell, which can make them lose advantage to their predators.
Humans should be more cautious in what they do with waste. Animals can be extremely harmed because of our carelessness. Just losing smell or hearing may not seem like such a big deal, but it can make an animal become extinct. This can harm the ecosystem and the consumers in it. With the extinction of one animal, it can bring the extinctions of others.
