Green sea - turtles eat sea grass. If more turtles are introduced, they will consume more sea grass. Since sea grass is important for fish and other marine organisms as a breeding ground, a decrease in sea grass due to more turtles feeding on it will lead to a decrease in the population of a marine organism that depends on the sea - grass ecosystem.
