@nudibranch_nerd: Replying to @michael_543 Remember - urchins aren’t the problem, just a symptom of a much larger one 🤓 #seaurchin #urchin #urchinbarren #uni #restoration #kelp #kelpforest #endangeredspecies #marinebiology #scuba #aquaculture #seastar #starfish
I nominate purple sea urchins to be the next boho home decor trend

How did the sea star syndrome come to be? Does anyone know? Is it rising water temps.. etc…

Sea stars were everywhere 15-20 years ago, now they’re hard to find. 😞

Why is there a harvest limit if they are so detrimental to the environment?

Have they tried cracking open the urchins and putting them back into the water so fish can feed on them and the nutrients is cycled back into the ocean instead of being removed from it? Like they do with culled salmon in river systems

I know you have to manually remove sea urchins. to bad there wasn't away to incentivize divers to go clear patches something like free air, lunch and fairing to and from dive spot.

odd to see so many urchins and yet the urchin fishermen want to remove sea otters b/c, the fishers say, "the otters are eating up too many urchins."
