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

At Heal the Bay\, we believe a day at the beach should not make anyone sick\, that’s why we’re on a mission to clean up our home beach and we’re celebrating that mission right here on the sand. \nMillions of people visit the Santa Monica Pier and its beach every year. Most visitors don’t know they are swimming at the most bacteria-impacted beach in California. \nHeal the Bay has been grading this beach\, and nearly every beach in California\, for decades. Beyond just tracking the problems\, we are leading the scientific work to solve them. \nOur scientists have been out in the water collecting data to find the source of bacteria so we can stop it. Together with the City of Santa Monica\, we’re leading the Santa Monica Pier Task Force: a first-of-its-kind collaborative bringing together government agencies\, scientists\, businesses\, and community members to advance real\, lasting solutions at this beach and creating a model to spread far beyond this one beach. \nThe Bring Back the Beach Gala is a celebration of our mission and our commitment to see it through. \n\nJoin Us as a Sponsor!\nThe Bring Back the Beach Gala brings together 750+ community leaders\, scientists\, advocates\, and changemakers for an evening worthy of the mission. Expect a curated dinner\, creative cocktails\, live and silent auctions\, mission experiences\, and meaningful connection with the Pacific Ocean as your backdrop at the historic Jonathan Club in Santa Monica.\n\nExperience Highlights:\n\nExclusive Sponsor Reception\, including early access for our sponsors\nLive & Silent Auctions featuring curated experiences and items\nMission experiences and activations celebrating Heal the Bayʼs science and impact\nStep-and-repeat and table branding for premier sponsors\nUnique brand activation and partnership opportunities throughout the event\nTribute Book with sponsor recognition\n750+ community leaders\, advocates\, and business changemakers\n\nBe Part of the Solution. Become a Sponsor.\nGala Sponsorship places your brand alongside one of Los Angelesʼ most respected environmental organizations – in front of 750+ decision-makers\, advocates\, and community leaders. Tiers include early access to the exclusive Sponsor Reception\, reserved parking\, activation elements\, and year-round recognition. Join us on the sand to celebrate the mission and fund what comes next!\n\nThe Beach at the Santa Monica Pier deserves clean water. The community that swims here\, plays here\, and depends on this coastline deserves better. Heal the Bay is doing the work. Help us reach our fundraising goal of $1.25 million to support our mission of science\, education\, advocacy\, and action.\nIf you have any questions\, please email us at BBB@healthebay.org.
