Dead/Dying seastars in West Seattle (with opening footage to show same site last year) from Laura James on Vimeo.
Please report on the starfish you see on dives... (and on the beach)
Upload a picture of the beach (topside) where you saw sick stars to instagram with the hashtag #sickstarfish This will put it on a map we are putting together. You will need to make sure geolocation is "on" and you are uploading from the site (not from your house). We are also working on a manual add for the site, but that is not up and running yet.
If you dive at a site that has no sick seastars please upload #nosickseastars that way we can get a baseline as well, and actually see spread over time. Tidepool walkers are also encouraged to become involved as the purple starfish are often visible on low tides and you will be able to see melting sea stars.
This is where data will be showing up in real time at sickstarfish.com
