                              If you’ve ever been in one of Earth’s ocean’s, it was likely in the sunlight, or epipelagic zone, which starts at the surface and extends 200 meters, or about 650 feet, down. That’s about half as tall as the Empire State Building!
                              <br/>
                              <br/>
                              If the zones of the ocean were restaurants, this one would be an all-you-can-eat buffet. Phytoplankton at or near the surface eat sunshine, carbon dioxide; then, they poop out sugar and half of the planet’s oxygen. Those sugars attract everyone else, making for a bright, busy ocean zone.
                              <br/>
                              <br/>

                           More than a decade ago, marine ecologist Drew Harvell was at a Nature Conservancy meeting in Monterey, California. She started getting strange reports from local divers about massive amounts of sea stars dying – and not just one kind. Almost a dozen different species were in trouble. When she received a call from back home in Seattle about a similarly mysterious, massive dieoff, she knew something was very wrong. “It was kind of a terrifying moment,” she recalls.

                           So she left the meeting, flew back to Seattle and immediately went out to the coast to conduct the first of many sea star surveys. “There were sea star arms all over the beach and dead and dying stars everywhere. It's really hard to explain now the magnitude of what this was like,” Drew says. It was the beginning of what would be called sea-star wasting disease. It would affect at least 20 species, which Drew says is about a quarter of the west coast star diversity–and kill billions of stars, 100 percent of certain species in some areas.
                           <br/>
                           <br/>
                           Sea stars are ecosystem engineers. Their predatory behavior keeps other species' numbers in check. When stars started disappearing, their prey populations–like urchins and mussels–exploded, overrunning kelp meadows or, as Drew calls them, “rainforests of the sea.” In other places, unchecked mussel populations started eating more of their prey, altering ecosystem dynamics.
                           <br/>
                           <br/>
                           Recently, Drew and a team of scientists solved the mystery and identified the microbe responsible for causing the devastating disease. With this knowledge, scientists can now test if there are reservoirs in the environment where the microbe is lurking.
                           <br/>
                           <br/>
                           And so, while Drew is saddened by the drastic declines of local ochre sea stars, she remains hopeful about the trajectory of the breeding program.
