The Discovery Passage Aquarium is rebooting its efforts to survey the health of sea star populations on the Willow Point Reef!

We are meeting at Jaycee Park in Campbell River at We will provide all materials needed to survey the sea stars. During the survey you will be assigned a site on the reef and asked to count all of the sea stars at your site, assess their health based on the pictures of healthy, mildly diseased, and severely diseased sea stars, and measure the radius of the sea star (from the middle of the body to the longest arm).

Please note that counting sea stars requires crouching down and looking under rocks.
