Listen • 4:59 On an island off the coast of Washington state, scientists have resorted to breeding sunflower sea stars in a lab. It s a desperate attempt to save the endangered animals from disappearing completely. Jason Hodin hauls up a rope that s hanging from a dock in the waters off San Juan Island in the Pacific Northwest. At the end is a square, sandwich-size Tupperware container, with mesh-covered holes in the sides to let water flow through. Hodin pulls off the lid and peers inside at some crushed bits of shell. He points to some reddish-orange dots. See that? That little dot right there in front of my finger? Hodin says. That s a juvenile sea star that s about a month old.
