It's the circle of life rules undersea just like it is on land. There are still scavengers under water who troll along looking for just that kind of snack. Plus things still break down underwater. So if nothing eats it, it will eventually break down completely and go back to the sand/dirt.

Most sink to the bottom of the ocean where there are others waiting to eat them.

They rot in the water just like you'll rot in the ground some day.
