Explanation:

Sea otters are an iconic species, representing the beauty and diversity of marine life found along California’s coastline. They’re also considered a keystone species because of their critical importance to the health and stability of the nearshore marine ecosystem. They eat sea urchins and other invertebrates that graze on giant kelp.

This is because eliminating them would cause a trophies cascade. The sea otter’s prey would increase, and the prey of that prey would decrease. Thus, otters are a “keystone” species.
