We dump pollutants in the ocean, from human sewage, to industrial waste;

We overfish;

We interfere with the physical structure by creating harbours and other amenities.

We 'pollute' the underwater environment with sonar - without knowing what effect it has on marine species - particularly those who use echo-location for hunting.

What if there were no plants plant eaters or predators in the ocean?

Without plants, the base of the ocean's food chain would be disrupted, leading to the collapse of the ecosystem. Plant eaters such as herbivorous fish rely on plants for food, and predators depend on plant eaters for sustenance. The absence of any of these groups would result in a chain reaction that would disrupt the balance of the entire ocean ecosystem.
