They saturate, and they are reaching the saturation point, disturbing the whole food chain in the ocean, which in turn disrupts the land based food chain.

Pretend? The plot shows data. There may be a lag, but they do correlate.
Of course, "correlation doesn't mean causation".... but it's a good starting point.
