Chronic overfishing disrupts a coral reef ecosystem, making the reef more susceptible to bleaching and resulting in die-off events rather than recovering. In this example, the result of human impact is of the coral reef.

Chronic overfishing disrupts a coral reef ecosystem, making the reef more susceptible to bleaching and resulting in die-off events rather than recovering. In this example, the result of human impact is the depletion of the coral reef.

Overfishing can deplete main reef species and damage coral habitat and the major primary cause of overfishing is poor fishing management.

This is the removal of a species of fish from a body of water at a rate that the species cannot replenish, resulting in those species becoming underpopulated in that area.

The missing word is Depletion.

Explanation:

Depletion of the coral reef can occur when the coral reef is overfished. Demand for fish is moving in the same direction with the rapidly escalating population growth rate.

One side effect of unsustainable, uncontrolled fishing is that certain species might become overfished and therefore go extinct.

This creates an ecological imbalance, which accelerates the Coral Reef's degradation.
