since humpback whales are found in so many different areas around the world, they play a part in countless marine communities in one way or another. in general though, humpback whales usually feed on plankton, krill, small fish, stuff like that. this means that they effect those ecosystems not only to those, but also to other things that are consumers of plankton, krill, and so on. that includes sea birds, other kinds of whales, and fish. so by removing humpback whales from an ecosystem, the things they feed on would become overpopulated, making all other competitors for the plankton, krill, smaller fish, etc., eventually also overpopulated. This can be applied to about any species: by removing any consumer or producer from an ecosystem, the damage will snowball into a catastrophe for the entire ecosystem.
