Loss of starfish could trigger other marine life disruptions


Anyone noticing this disease happening to starfish south of the border?

"This plague offers evidence that something is going wrong in the ecosystem of the Pacific, and as the starfish continue to die off in record numbers, the delicate balance of the ocean could be in jeopardy. According to the short film about the catastrophic losses of starfish, Fading Stars (which you can watch in full, above), as starfish die their natural prey will grow unchecked throughout the reefs and wreak havoc on the plant and animal balance of the ocean."
