My favorite photo from 2025. 🌟 -2.7 tide!
The only consistent Sunflower Star seen off the Mendocino Coast since the Star Wasting Disease killed millions of Stars along the West Coast since 2013.
Next to a Sunburst Anemone. 💞
Hang in there little one! #sunflowerstar

Loved doing this interview about captive breeding and conservation of #sunflowerstars with the sunflower star aquarist @montereyaq.bsky.social and a chat about my upcoming book, The Ocean's Menagerie.

While we debate the refs, the ocean’s losing reefs, kelp, and function. One small but real play today: support ONE local advocasy or conservation group. For eg:
@sfbaykeeper.bsky.social
@biologicaldiversity.org
The Marine Mammal Center, Wild Oyster Project, Sunflowerstar Lab…
Pick one. That’s it.

They are writing a machine-learning system to "facially" recognize each individual #sunflowerstar immediately. So they can track the growth of these lab-grown creatures after they relocate to the wild. (Work from Friday Harbor labs - UW)
