The latest enviromental "emergency". I'm not a marine biologist, have no idea what this means.

Obviously white sea urchin supremacy.

Also FTR, a land urchin is a hedgehog. Sea urchins are related to starfish.

it means that someone discharged something into the seawater that killed the sea urchins.
They just don’t know what that something is—much less the someone who did it.
The first thing they have to figure out is what killed the sea urchins. Then they can track back from there to the who where and how.

Some sea urchins are edible, some are even very expensive delicacies.
Are these ones edible? I know sea urchins are food for a number of marine critters.

Couldn’t be the raw sewage and untreated industrial waste discharged into the sea from Gaza or anything, could it?

Yep. And it’s Elon Mollusk’s fault.

Are you thinking of Fugu or Puffer fish?

I’ve read that sea urchins are beneficial to coral reefs because they help control the algae growth.

What? What? Eilat’s lil black urchins are being killed? Are they being lynched? Any cross burning? Night riders? Is the klan active in Eilat? Where is the NAACP? Does the SPLC know about this?

I wouldn’t have thought it, but looking up the Phylogeny, it does seem they’re somewhat related.

Pollution from Gaza is unlikely to make its way to the Gulf of Aqaba. The whole of southern Israel is in the way.
