Why is desalination bad for the environment and what are the potential negative impacts it can have on ecosystems and marine life?

Desalination is harmful to the environment because it requires a lot of energy, which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. The process also produces a concentrated brine waste that can harm marine life by disrupting the balance of salt in the water and affecting the ecosystem. This can lead to reduced biodiversity, harm to fish and other marine organisms, and damage to coastal habitats.
