SUMMARY:Heal the Bay BioBlitz and Restoration Days
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a BioBlitz and restoration work at Temescal Canyon Park. We will be exploring\, cataloging\, and helping restore a very special part of Temescal Canyon Park. Our co-hosts\, Resilient Palisades\, in partnership with TreePeople\, planted twelve native trees in January 2026 on this spot in honor of the lives that were lost during the Palisades Fire. We wish to continue honoring these victims and Palisades community by removing fast growing invasive plants and letting the beautiful\, native habitat have a chance to return to the canyon. \nREGISTER \n\n \nThank you to our water partners at Open Water for supporting our events this Earth Month

SUMMARY:The Comeback: Saving The Sunflower Sea Star From Extinction WEBINAR (Rescheduled)
DESCRIPTION:Did you miss the webinar? No problem. Watch The Comeback here! Please note\, this webinar was tapped on April 28. \n \nJoin Heal the Bay for a virtual behind-the-scenes look at our urgent work to save the critically endangered sunflower sea star\, why the future of California’s kelp forests depends on it\, and how you can help. \nAround 2013\, our California coast experienced a Sea Star Wasting Event\, caused by a disease outbreak that decimated over 20 different sea star species populations\, and left the California sunflower sea star virtually extinct. In the years following this event\, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums started a Sunflower Sea Star SAFE (Saving Animals From Extinction) program that includes over 50 facilities from across the world. Heal the Bay has been an active member in this program for several years now\, but this year\,  joined by Santa Monica City College\, we are working hard to turn the tide. Join the webinar to learn how. \nApril 28th\, be part of a rare and time-sensitive moment: our attempt to spawn one of the only reproductive female sunflower sea stars in California\, local to California waters. A successful spawning could allow us to raise her offspring and\, with state approval\, one day reintroduce juvenile sea stars into local waters to help restore balance to our coastal ecosystems. \nJoin Heal the Bay expert aquarists for a virtual conversation about: \n\nThe science behind aquaculture and species recovery through the SAFE (Saving Animals From Extinction) program\nWhy sunflower sea stars are a keystone species—and what happens when they disappear\nWhat we’re learning in real time from this spawning effort\, including new footage and insights from our partners\nHow this work connects directly to the health of Southern California’s kelp forests and how YOU can help\n\nYou’ll also meet “Chicken Fingers\,” the sunflower sea star at the center of this critical effort — and one of the last reproductive females from Southern California waters. \nHealthy coastlines don’t happen by accident. They take care\, science\, and a community of people willing to show up. \nRegister for the Webinar \nMeet the Sunflower Sea Star\nThe sunflower sea star is a fast-moving\, many-armed keystone predator\, growing up to 3 feet wide\, and using thousands of tube feet to hunt sea urchins\, helping protect and sustain vital kelp forest ecosystems. \nMeet the Scientists\nDive into a discussion with Laura Rink\, Associate Director of Operations at Heal the Bay Aquarium\, and Jen Burney\,Aquaculture Lab Technician at Santa Monica City College\, for a knowledge drop on why sunflower sea stars matter\, how aquaculture is supporting their recovery\, and what it takes to rebuild a thriving ecosystem.  \nCan Aquculture Work to Save A Species?\nIn 2026\, Heal the Bay Aquarium is supporting a critical effort to restore the endangered sunflower sea star\, a keystone species essential to the survival of Southern California’s kelp forest ecosystems. As part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums SAFE (Saving Animals From Extinction) Program\, our team is working at the forefront of species recovery.  \nDon’t miss the moment. Just… \n \n  \n\n\n\n\nRegister for the Webinar\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSupport this work\n\n\n Learn More: Aquaculture at Heal the Bay\n\n\nLearn More: Aquaculture at Santa Monica City College\n\n\nMeet Chicken Fingers the Sea Star\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nThank you to our water partners at Open Water for supporting our events this Earth Month
