Meet the sea cucumber! Sea cucumbers belong to the same family as sea stars and urchins, and you can find this one in our Tide Pool! Sea cucumbers have a unique defense mechanism known as "evisceration." When threatened, they can expel their internal organs to distract or deter predators. No need to worry, they can regenerate these organs later. Have you been able to see our sea cucumber? Sometimes, it can be difficult to spot and hides behind the rocks.

California sea cucumbers are the largest sea cucumber species in our waters and the only one that is commercially harvested. They are mostly deposit feeders, moving around the bottom of the ocean, using their buccal podia like a mop, eating all the food they can find. They can also suspension feed if they need to! California Sea cucumbers can undergo asexual budding when they’re still in their larvae form, such a wild capability!! They have a skeleton that uses water known as a hydrostatic skele

Meet the sea cucumber🪸 They might be unassuming and go unnoticed by most, but they do play a vital role recycling nutrients to help ‘clean’ the ocean 😉 As they are quite popular in some Asian cuisines, due to its various health benefits, it’s lead to an increase in demand for them.
