If the tiny sea plant life die, the fish would die as they have a lack of food and this can not be sustained. If the fish die from oil poisoning or no food, the birds like seagulls would die as they too have no food because they eat the fish. Also, we catch certain types of fish so the fish market would slump due to insufficient fish which could also result in over-fishing. We wouldn't die unless the fisherman relied on the fish for food and money. Certain coast are home to seals, they would too die from lack of food. The oil would affect the tiny organisms and would have a big impact further up the food chain and ecosystem.
