Question
**Text for Educational Website:**

Crabs are a food source for the turtles, which can use their strong jaws to crack the shells of the crabs.

**Graph Explanation:**

The line graph illustrates the number of crab individuals (in thousands) over a timeframe from 1990 to 2015. The vertical axis represents the number of individuals in thousands, ranging from 0 to 50. The horizontal axis represents time in years. 

- From 1990 to approximately 1995, there is a gradual increase in the crab population.
- Between 1995 and 2000, the population rises sharply, peaking near 50,000.
- Post-2000, there are fluctuations; the population decreases slightly, rises again, and then drops significantly around 2010.
- After 2010, the number rebounds and stabilizes somewhat by 2015.

**Study Question:**

16. Based on the graph, what is the carrying capacity for crabs in the area being studied? Propose a reason that the population dropped in 2010.
