Examine the graphs in the Lab Book, and describe any trends you observe among kelp, purple sea urchin, and sea otter populations.\tWhat happened to all three populations when catastrophe struck the sea otters? Which populations were wiped out, and in what order?\tWhy do you think the removal of the otters caused the other two populations to crash as well?\tExamine the graphs in the Lab Book. What happened to the populations’ growth patterns when 100 individuals of each species were reintroduced to the habitat?\tWhat would have happened if you had only reintroduced the kelp and the urchin? Explain.\tWhat if you had only reintroduced five individuals of each species? Would that have worked to restore the populations? Explain your hypothesis.\tDescribe the results of the simulation.
