Sea otter is a keystone species.
Is this correct
Yes, that is correct. The sea otter is often considered a keystone species in its ecosystem as it plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and balance of the kelp forest habitat by controlling the population of sea urchins that would otherwise overgraze on the kelp.
