Huffington Post’s article authoritatively described the definition of a trophic cascade as an ecological phenomenon triggered by the addition, or removal of top predators and involving reciprocal changes in the relative populations of predator and prey through a food chain, which often results in dramatic changes in ecosystem structure and nutrient cycling (huffingtonpost.com).” For that reason, in today’s society we have witnessed numerous trophic cascades that occur all over the world, specifically sea otters, blue crabs, jaguars, and as we discussed in class wolves that illustrate predators that decimate their prey because of the food chain (quora.com).” First of all, in the example of the sea otters, sea otters eat urchins.

It is hard to determine the incentives of people’s behaviours if they are just following what the rest of society is doing. The motivation of someone’s actions can…
