In this selection, Worm and co-workers devised experiments to study the effect of biodiversity loss on the stability of the ecosystem. Several marine ecosystems were studied; coastal, large marine, marine reserves and fishery closures in order to assess the effect of specie richness and the rate of recovery from biodiversity loss. The results from the experiment show that marine species are being exploited at an alarming rate. Recovery of these species are thus impaired and consequently diminishes the marine's system ability to feed the human population. Thus, it is important that we develop sustainable fisheries management, protect and conserve essential habitats. Businesses should play a big role in maintaining the well being of the marine ecosystem since they pose a big threat to the marine water quality and the global food scarcity.
