Sea Stars? People on the west coast have called them Starfish for a really long time. Must be an east coast thing.

It’s almost as if nature regulates itself. The population of a predator such as “sea stars” - starfish, as was - declines because of some factor. Then the population of what they ate explodes. Then the remaining population of the predator experiences unusual growth.
Like, DUH.

I’m just a housewife with a degree in Management from the 1980s ... but I know this stuff. Being a journalist obviously takes a special kind of stupid, where you can start each day in a numinous NOW in which nothing has ever happened before.

My kids have been involved in science competitions for years. Although there’s a certain overlay of global-warming claptrap, there’s much more basic fact about how things work.

Seastar Ebola....ran its course and population rebounded.

We were just talking about this recovery yesterday while diving off Newport and Laguna Beach. I hadn’t seen any Sea Stars in quite a few years diving Southern California but I saw 5 or 6 yesterday.
As well, the Abalone are really doing well too - and not just little ones either, 8 and 10 inch I saw yesterday- DOZENS in a single crack in the reef

It was just a few years ago that starfish were destroying clam/bivalve populations and were considered a scourge. Then something comes along that turns them to goo and people begin to worry about them. It’s always something.
