Stop buying/ taking clownfish from the ocean

Explanation:

As explained in Finding Nemo, and science in General, clownfish and sea anemone have a mutualistic relationship. Basically, both pair up for survival and have a win-win relationship, aka benefit from eachother. The clownfish provides the anemone with nutrients in the form of waste, and also scares off potential predators. The sea anemone gives clownfishes protection and shelter. If clownfishes population was just to get lower and lower, the sea anemone would be affected too. The sea anemone would not get the nutrients it needs from the clownfish nor the protection it needs from predators. If clownfish are stopped from being taken from the ocean, the sea anemone will flurish and grow because its getting the benefits from the clownfish.
