Join us in celebrating Women’s History Month with Ellen, our senior aquarist who does incredible work with sunflower stars at the Aquarium! 🌟
These once-abundant predators played a key role in keeping Monterey Bay kelp forests healthy, but Sea Star Wasting Disease brought them to the brink of extinction.
We’re partnering with amazing organizations like the California Academy of Sciences, Aquarium of the Pacific, Birch Aquarium at Scripps, San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, and the Sunflower Sea Star Lab to bring them back.
Learn more about our efforts and how we’re growing sunflower stars from tiny babies to giant sea stars!
