In the sea sharks play a very important role. They don't just eat all fish, they eat for a good cause. Some sharks eat dead fish and if the population were to decline then we would have dead fish in the ocean.

The fish populations would start growing because they wouldn't have a predator depleting their numbers, and all of their food sources would drastically decrease because there would be higher numbers of fish eating them. Also, whatever the sharks started eating would vastly decrease, and whatever was usually eating that food source would now have to compete with the sharks. Unless their food source is nothing, in which case they will starve.
