A decline in the exotic species of fish and other forms of marine life in affected waters

Explanation:

El Nino, or rather the Southern Oscillation, is a naturally occurring event that has big effect on the climate. Its effects are mostly felt in the eastern Pacific, but it has influence on the global climate as well. El Nino is warming up the waters of the eastern Pacific, which in turn causes droughts, intensive rainfall, large storms, which affects heavily the people living along the western coast of the Americas, especially South America.
