FRIDAY HARBOR, Wash. : A few hours from Seattle at a location that can only be reached by boat, marine scientists at University of Washington's Friday Harbor lab are breeding and studying endangered sunflower sea stars following a massive die-off over the past decade.
The lab located on San Juan Island, currently plays host to 109 one-year-old, 23 two-year-old, 12 three-year-old, and approximately 5,000 larvae sunflower sea stars in total that have been bred in captivity. The university and grant-funded field station in the northern waters of Puget Sound have undertaken the new study in collaboration with the college's neuroscience's department, to determine if echinoderms are being affected by warming waters.
