The Birch Aquarium was able to successfully spawn three critically endangered Sunflower Sea Stars, a milestone achievement in the recovery of the invertebrates, it was announced Wednesday.
"Sunflower Stars are considered functionally extinct in our own state of California," said Melissa Torres, assistant dive safety officer and aquarist at Birch Aquarium."Our collective goal is to save them from extinction."
According to the aquarium, for nearly a decade, a mysterious Sea Star Wasting Disease has swept across the West Coast, causing a mass die-off of sea stars particularly in warming waters. It hit Sunflower Sea Stars the hardest, nearly driving them to extinction. The aquarium is home to five Sunflower Stars. Behind the scenes, a concoction of spawn-inducing hormones was carefully prepared and administered into three Sunflower Stars at the aquarium. Each mixture was made specifically for each star based on its weight.
