CLICK HERE TO SUBMIT OBSERVATIONS OF HEALTHY AND/OR DISEASED SEA STARS. Please direct questions to Melissa Miner, Rani Gaddam, and Melissa Douglas (seastarwasting@googlegroups.com)***

Please remember to fill out a log even if you search and only find healthy sea stars, or no sea stars! This information is just as valuable as observations of diseased individuals. In addition to sea star disease observations, observations of disease in the purple sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) can now be reported (as of December, 2014). Note that prior to December 2014, there are no observations for S. purpuratus on the map. For urchin species other than S. purpuratus observations should be recorded in the 'Additional Information' section of the disease observation log.
