Apparently what happened in the Mad Max future history was that the sea life suddenly started to all die off, then the oceans and lakes all began to dry up, and vast deserts with few survivors remained. They subsist on old canned food and water collected from night dew / wind collectors, and maggots collected in farms of rotting stuff. Info from the MM game, which apparently was decided to be a canon entry in the series.
