DRAW IT In the Chesapeake Bay estuary, the blue crab is anomnivore that eats eelgrass and other primary producers as wellas clams. It is also a cannibal. In turn, the crabs are eaten byhumans and by the endangered Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle. Basedon this information, draw a food web that includes the bluecrab. Assuming that the top-down model holds for this system,describe what would happen to the abundance of eelgrass ifhumans stopped eating blue crabs.
