  • A leather sea star (Dermasterias imbricata) boiled to death on the shores of Vancouver Island. The victim of a heat wave (a recent study concluded it would have been almost impossible without human-made climate change) that coincided with extremely low tides in the middle of the day. I saw hundreds of sea stars, crabs and even some fish that died from the heat. It's likely billions of animal were killed.
