Pycnopodia Helianthoides, or the Sunflower Sea Star, is the largest known starfish in the world. Adults stars can have as many as 24 limbs and measure over three feet across. They are a predatory species and can travel up to ten feet per minute, which is Usain Bolt-level fast for a sea star. This fascinating animal, once abundant along the Pacific coast from Alaska to northern Mexico, has been devastated by a disease called wasting syndrome. The disease has wiped out as much as 90% of the sunflo

If we had known that sea star wasting syndrome would nearly annihilate the population of sunflower stars along the west coast, we would have taken more photos and videos of these iconic predators. Our observations through our participatory science program helped to list them at threatened on the ICUN red list. Now that the disease is being studied more, hopefully there will be more done to help bring these animals back. #seastar #badbunny #sswd #starfish #marinebiology #stem #echinoderm
