Meet the sunflower sea star 🌻🌊⭐️ Sunflower stars are keystone predators in kelp forest ecosystems, eating and scaring urchins to keep them from overgrazing kelp. This #SunflowerStarWeek, @sunflowerstarlab, @montereybayaquarium, @calacademy, and @birchaquarium will be highlighting this superstar of the sea and the work being done by us and our partners, including @ca_conserve, @noaa, and others, to restore the sunflower star and bring balance back to our kelp forests. 🎥: produced by Calista Ke
