Changes in the composition of the water will lead to the death of corals and mollusks, and after that, species after species will fall in a domino effect, with eventually the entire food chain likely disappearing.

That encourages the growth of planktonic algae, and thus of everything that feeds on such plankton, or feeds on what feeds on them, including jellyfish, and also various molluscs and crustacea that loggerheads enjoy as an appetiser.
