- - - - What can/should we do? Or better, what could happen?
        
        Develop new materials and new boats that are made of materials that can be disposed completely.
        
        new opportunity for the industry
  - - - New organisms can develop their life around sunken boats. Organisms, sealife, and weeds grow on the boat, creating a new environment.
    - - When there are storms, many of these sunken boats rise up or even go on and damage the coral reefs.
- - - - Limit movement/feeding
        
        Indirect Effect:
        
        Population is reduced. There'll consequently be an imbalance in the food chain. (there's one less predator)
    - - Coral Reefs
    - - Block Intestinal Tracts
        
        Bioaccumulation of the contaminant. The oyster is gathering up this contaminant as it eats more of it
        
        Indirect Effect
        
        BIOMAGNIFICATION
        
        As you move through the food chain, the contaminant is passed. Oyster, being a prey, is eaten, and the contaminant is then passed onto the bigger predator and so on. This ends up in our bodies if we do eat such fish. E.g. Tuna, which is known for being a top predator and containing mercury, which for a pregnant woman, is very harmful.
