By controlling sea urchin populations\, they protect kelp forests and help sustain hundreds of species along California’s coast. However\, after the 2013 outbreak of sea star wasting disease\, populations plummeted by more than 90%\, leaving them functionally extinct in much of the state. \nNow\, hope is on the horizon. Through the AZA SAFE (Saving Animals From Extinction) initiative\, Heal the Bay Aquarium and partners nationwide are working to restore these sea stars to the wild and revive balance in the kelp forest ecosystem.
