They are vital apex predators that keep prey populations in check. Without predators, certain species with higher reproductive rates might become overpopulated and decimate their respective food sources - be they grasses, small fish, etc. This in turn affects the rest of the ecosystem... it's a far-reaching reaction that is difficult to predict in greater detail without a specific situation to discuss, but that's the gist of it.

One use of alligators is food and another use is for clothing (today that is not politically correct). Scientists have discovered a potential use of their blood . They have found that the blood of an alligator has a protein in it that may be used as a potential antibiotic against the superbacterias.

As with all animals, they are important to the food chain, but they are now good sources of tourists in America.
