What If #SeaUrchins Disappeared?
Life Without Animals
"From the fiercest predator to the lowliest plant, every member of an ecosystem is immeasurably important to the survival of their environment. Although they're not regarded as a keystone species, sea urchins play a pivotal role in maintaining healthy marine environments. Without #seaurchins to consume #algae, entire coral reef ecosystems could collapse."

By Hadas Gold, CNN
Published Jun 5, 2023
"Given how quickly the urchins disappeared, Bronstein said scientists have little time to take action. His team skipped the normal academic process that can take months or years to conduct studies and release journal papers, choosing to sound the alarm as quickly as possible with fast-paced academic articles and public appeals.
“'We need to understand, and decision makers need to understand, that the window of opportunity to take action is very, very narrow. And it’s closing rapidly.' Bronstein said.
"The first step, needed in the coming weeks, is to establish 'broodstock populations' that will eventually help repopulate and reintroduce the black sea urchins into the region. But the surviving sea urchins that could be used to do so are themselves under threat.
“'[The mass mortality] is currently occurring south of #Turkey and #Greece, but it is making its way down along the eastern #Mediterranean coastline, towards #Syria, #Lebanon, and #Israel. Once it gets there, we probably will have pretty much closed our window of opportunity to take action,' Bronstein said."

#NowPlaying getting my INDIE on with the 1972 reissue of "Stardust" by the Sea Urchins, the Sarah Records classic! Yes, absolutely worth getting from the band's bandcamp or whatever. The orange vinyl is pretty neat! Some people like their reissues with liner notes and gatefolds but I'm happy with what I can get, especially a record this rare. 1972 is not as bad as Plain Recordings or 4 Men but they're not Numero - but this sounds pretty good. #indie #SarahRecords #SeaUrchins #vinyl #records

Here's a starter for 10 (first post here), earthenware hand built Sea Urchin lampshade base. Coupled with a handmade cyanotype seaweed lampshade, what a combo! My pottery is for sale. Love the textures of this, so tactile.
