If plankton go extinctThe plankton are gone.The sea organisms go extinct.The small fish go extinct.The large fish go extinctThe ocean is emptier

So plankton are important and demonstrate that species that go extinct could have big impacts on others

So what causes extinction1) Failure to adapt to the environment2) Humans are impacting the environments, making them harder to live in for other species

Burmese Pythons in Florida

Zebra Mussels
