What would happen to the food chain if the loggerhead sea turtle was not in it anymore?

Loggerhead Turtles are considered endangered. They eat Horseshoe Crabs and eggs, and without Loggerheads the Horseshoe Crab population would grow. Since they eat Razor Clams that population would drop, causing the Horseshoes population to drop as well. But diamond Back Terrapin also eat Razor Clams so their pop. is going to drop as well. Striped Bass, Sanderling, and Grackle all eat Horseshoe Crabs and their eggs. All of those populations would increase and the Horseshoes would decrease. Just a really long, never ending chain reaction.
