The death of species such as fish due to increased pH will affect the fishing industry, making it more difficult to find healthy, salable fish. NOAA states that “fisheries related to coral ecosystems range from artisanal subsistence fishing, commercial fishing, aquaculture, live coral reef fish for food, recreational fishing, aquarium/ornament trade marine and curio and fashion industries” (NOAA). This will also impact the multi-billion dollar coastal tourism industry, as people from all over the world travel to areas like the Great Barrier Reef for the amazing ecosystem at work. Many people also consume fish and marine life and although the effects of consuming marine life with a lower pH are not evident at the moment, it is unrealistic to think that it will have no effect.
