The Sea Urchin fishery in the 1990s wiped out the idigenous Urchins and the little purple invaders took over. I have watched the kelp ebb and flow with ocean tempurature for 70 years now. Cold ocean restores kelp. El nino wipes it out.

Starfish died off due to climate change, increase in temperature. So Sea Urchins took over, out competed other species and decimated the kelp forrest. These purple urchin are too tiny for commercial use, like the juice (the effort) is not worth the squeeze. while they are a delicacy, the amount of work you have to put into harvesting the UNI. most companies cant scale that and be profitable. So yeah, kinda gg

What killed off the starfish? My vote is too plump up the sea urchins. Aren’t they a delicacy in Japanese cuisine?

if they are not focusing on personal pronoun enforcement and celebration then there is really no hope
