Question
Biologists in Haida Gwaii (an archipelago off the coast of British Columbia) are interested in restoring
coastal kelp forests. This habitat is critical for fish and the endangered northern abalone. However,
urchins are efficient grazers that can quickly mow through patches of kelp, creating 'barrens' (regions
without much life like the region shown in the picture above). These barrens leave little food or
habitat for the abalone (which also eat kelp). To combat these hungry urchins, divers collect or crack
(kill) any urchins they see in the study area. Identify the species interactions (+/-/0):
1. Urchins on kelp
[ Select ]
2. Kelp on urchins
[ Select ]
3. Humans on urchins [Select ]
4. Kelp on abalone
[ Select ]
5. Abalone on kelp [ Select]
6. What is the name of the interaction between kelp and abalone?
