I used to live next to Seahurst Park, and have visited many times since 1994. At low tide there are a number of large rocks on the north end that are always interesting to visit. Today was the first time there wasn’t a single sea-star to be found. There used to be dozens of them on the same rocks 20 years ago. Between warmer water temperatures and the sea-star wasting disease it appears they are almost wiped out in some areas of the sound.

Yeah, sad. So much has changed, and not for the better.

Nature exists with a stark indifference to humans' situation.
