There is too little oxycen and too much CO2. The plants don’t survive without oxygen and the ecosystem suffers.

What happens inland affects the sea, which then affects inland. Sea has food for people to eat and works as a tourism spot. If inland activity pollutes the sea, these two examples might suffer, which causes for inland

The statement is misleading because slit and clay are created by geological formation on the botton of the sea. That then ups due to earth movements.
