STAR FISH

En el litoral canario existe gran variedad de especies de estrellas de mar, algunas de ellas son endémicas como la estrella canaria. Las estrellas juegan un papel muy importante en el control de la población de erizo marino que daña gravemente los fondos . Es por ello muy importante no comprar ni recoger estrellas.
WE CAN FIND SEVERAL SPECIES OF STAR FISH ON THE CANARY ISLANDS´ LITTORAL, MANY OF THEM ENDEMIC OF OUR COASTS AS THE CANARY SPECIES. STAR FISH HAVE THE ABILITY OF REGENERATING THEMSELVES  IF A PART OF THEIR  BODY HAS BEEN DAMAGED. STAR FISH PLAY A VERY IMPORTANT ROLL ON THE SEA ORCHID POPULATION CONTROL WHICH GREATLY DESTROYS THE ECOSYSTEM.THEREFORE IT IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE NOT TO TAKE OR BUY ANY STAR FISH SINCE SEVERAL OF THE SPECIES ARE ENDANGERED.
