Report Details
On an interpretive hike led by Jesse Jones, of CoastWatch and Dr Larry Basch of Charleston, Oregon, I observed a pisater ochraceus with what looked to be severe SSWS. I submitted a report to MARINe. Happily, I also saw nearly 100 healthy ochre stars. Larry estimated their ages to be between 2-4 years old. We only covered a small portion of the south part of the point.
Conditions
Temperature: 51 F. Wind Velocity: Calm/Light. Wind Direction: N. Tide Level: -0.3 feet.
I believe this sea star has severe Sea Star Wasting Syndrome symptoms. I submitted a report to MARINe.
