Summary
| Description |
English: this Ochre Sea Star was found on St. Lazaria Island where it plays a key role in managing the biodiversity of the intertidal zone by feeding on mussels. Through their diet, these sea stars clear mussels from rocks, thus, enabling other animals to inhabit the local area and increase the overall biodiversity of the ecosystem. |
