In recent years scientists monitoring the seafloor noticed something strange was happening... The beautiful and mysterious kelp forests and seagrass meadows are disappearing and being replaced with a barren landscape, covered in sea urchins and devoid of life.

ABOUT THIS PROJECT
===============================
The beautiful and mysterious kelp forests and seagrass meadows are disappearing and being replaced with a barren landscape, covered in sea urchins and devoid of life. The coastal ecosystem is rapidly collapsing under our watch so scientists have set out to understand this phenomenon. Why are these massive urchin takeovers taking place? and Why is something that has maintained its balance for tens of thousands of years suddenly tipping over and falling apart?
We have found some answers in an unlikely character, a fluffy, cute looking marine mammal that inhabits these kelp forests, the sea otter.
