Figure 7: Food Web Diagram for the Monterey Bay Habitat. Discussion: Have a conversation about this food web with students. In the conversation be sure to note the relative trophic levels of the four species that are the focus of this activity: sardines, sea

The food web on left depicts the Now, you will expand your diagram for the Kelp Forest Ecosystem, following the instructions below. Include two distinctive sets of arrows: One set to show the flow of energy through the system; A second set that reflects the top-down pressures being exerted by the main players in the system: sea otters, sea urchins, and kelp.

Under the trophic levels in a food web there are three smaller sub-levels. Producer Consumer-primary-secondary-tertiary Decomposers Food Chain ; Threats And Preservation; Sources; Kelp Forests provide a habitat that gives many species shelter and shade. The shade provided by the kelp also give the soft red and pink algae perfect growing conditions, which is eaten by many smaller critters.
