About This App
This app simulates the ecological relationship between kelp, sea urchins, and otters. In this ecological triangle, kelp provides food for sea urchins, which in turn are preyed upon by otters. Kelp benefits from the presence of otters because they keep the sea urchin population in check, preventing overgrazing of kelp. This delicate balance is crucial for the health and biodiversity of marine ecosystems.
