This is the type of work that makes me so happy to see in the Pacific Northwest. I hope we start seeing it all over to improve ecosystems & environmental health all over. This is the type of work people should be doing. The more our environment flourishes the more We flourish as well. Imagine how unhappy we would be if we negatively impacted most of our environments & we never did anything about it? A world with mostly people & very little natural biodiversity, sounds like a very unpleasant world. That's why this work is really impactful.
I have read about ways that the Oregon Coast Aquarium is working to treat wasting disease on The Oregonian/OregonLive. It's amazing and fascinating work, and I'm hoping it can provide continuous success as we rebuild sea star populations and kelp forests along Coastal Oregon. :)
This is wonderful, seeing people that care about life. Amazing that they developed a method of IVF for seastars! That research could potentially help other sealife restoration projects as well!
I grew up in SW Seattle, and during a very low tide i went snorkling at the Fauntleroy ferry dock. A woman was there, photographing sun stars, and i assited her by collecting them and positioning them for her to photograph. Her name was Dixie.
Great video and nice work from the team! I loved that they were using some older lab equipment . Specifically the hand-cranked centrifuge and cell counter.
Aren’t sea urchins edible, seems like we could deal with the sea urchins by farming them! That’s not to say that we shouldn’t try reintroducing these cool starfish, but if the sea urchins are the problem right now….!
Labs don't use gloves?? Separately, I see the direct benefit it has to us to help the sea stars as it helps the kelp, but I always wonder, if wasting is a natural issue, should we let it be?
Its a disease caused by unusual oceam warming not garbage or else it would not affect only some species and would be localised but the disease is present on all the continent of america .

I'm sad this video only has 10k views. This is phenomenal. Good work. 9:50 really says it well
Love the Oregon Coast
Phenomenal
Interesting video, thank you.
A fantastic team of people, truly inspirational work.
Really enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing
They are doing great work.

That Joey guy is a real cool dude

Wow what incredible work you are doing!! You are directly saving the species!
Fantasticly amazing!
Sunflower starfish have always been one of my favorite species to see both in the wild and in the aquarium. I hope they are successful.
Thanks to those contributing hard work to save creatures.
XCELLENT,XCELLENT EDUCATION PROGRAM! TY!🤠🐧👍🌻🧚♀️😖😖
Starfish: YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME
Predator: takes a peice
Starfish:oh....ok
Last time at Enetia beach at my family's house. After the die off there are baby starfish all over..all types.
If it is the case , it is important that you report it as There may be populations resistant to the disease or hint of a population recovery
Awesome
I pulled one of these up once when i was crabbing with my family. It's hard to find any sea stars these days
used to see these all the time growing up in the San Juans. Sad i dont see them around that often.
This research lab should be turned in to a huge star fish farm and save the star fish species entirely!
I’m glad these animals are not going to go extinct yet
All males sounds like my problem with squash.
Interesting work guys.
If we vote appropriately we can support this sort of work in the future. If not, they are lost.

“Mysterious disease” 😂. Stop dumping garbage and nuclear wastewater into the ocean. Not such a mystery.
Its a disease caused by unusual oceam warming not garbage or else it would not affect only some species and would be localised but the disease is present on all the continent of america .
Like Fukushima had nothing to do with it….😏
@@LasxrcstoFukushima has EVERYTHING to do with it! Thanks tons for knowing! 🕊❤️🕊
2013, wonder what happen in 2012
hmmmm....
The wasting syndrome that was caused by Fukashima?
who is paying for this?
Mussle
Yes. It IS amazing. Think about when our Creator designed it and produced it! 😊
