Reintroduction of sea otters to British Columbia has led to a dramatic improvement in the health of coastal ecosystems, [143] and similar changes have been observed as sea otter populations recovered in the Aleutian and Commander Islands and the Big Sur coast of California [144] However, some kelp forest ecosystems in California have also thrived without sea otters,
with sea urchin populations apparently controlled by other factors.

with colleagues from GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel and international partners from the USA, New Zealand, and Great Britain studied marine benthic shell - forming organisms around the world in relation to the chemical conditions they currently experience —
with a surprising result: 24 percent, almost a quarter of the analyzed species, including
sea urchins,
sea stars, coralline algae or snails, already live in seawater unfavorable to the maintenance of their calcareous skeletons and shells (a condition referred to as CaCO3 - undersaturation).

They studied regenerative capacity in three species of
sea urchins with long, intermediate and short life expectancies: the red
sea urchin, Mesocentrotus franciscanus, one of the world's longest - lived organisms
with a life expectancy of more than 100 years; the purple
sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus,
with a life expectancy of more than 50 years; and the variegated
sea urchin, Lytechinus variegatus,
with a life expectancy of only four years.
They found that although the variegated
sea urchin, L. variegatus, has a much lower life expectancy in the wild than the other two species they studied, it displayed no evidence of a decline in regenerative capacity
with age, which suggests that senescence may not be tied to a short life expectancy in the wild.
MDI Biological Laboratory Associate Professor James A. Coffman, Ph.D., is studying the regenerative capacity of
