Big moves for big leggy bois! These sunflower stars went from the lab to the feast, and we can’t wait to see their permanent return to Monterey Bay, California. ⁠
⁠
This is a long-term collaborative project with @sunflowerstarlab ; @montereybayaquarium ; @mosslandingmarinelabs ; the California Department of Fish and Wildlife; California State University, Monterey Bay; @hopkinsmarinestation ; and the Monterey-based dive company, Underwater Company.⁠
⁠
There is more to study before this species can be fully reintroduced. Sea star wasting disease is still a concern, especially with warmer temperatures hitting California this year. Regardless, this is huge news, and we hope you’re as excited as we are.⁠
⁠
Proof that when communities come together, big things happen.⁠

Our Executive Director, Jan Freiwald, was interviewed on an episode of Rising Tide, hosted by David Helvarg and Natasha Benjamin.⁠
⁠
In this episode, they discuss two major ocean ecosystems, coral reefs and kelp forests. They highlight the threats each faces as the ocean warms and the role El Niño could play in these fragile environments. ⁠
⁠
Jan also talks about how Reef Check is bringing young people into the ocean science world by making scuba diving more accessible. The Dive Into Science program provides training and mentorship to support their future as ocean advocates. ⁠
⁠
Listen to the episode at our 🔗 or wherever you listen to podcasts.⁠
