unravels one of the most catastrophic species die offs in recorded history. In 2013 scuba divers off the coast of British Columbia discovered that the star fish were dying in the millions and suffering horrific deaths. The star fish were disintegrating into goo on the ocean floor and the environmental balance of the marine ecosystem was being changed. Soon the immensity of this epidemic came to light and researchers discovered the Sea Star Wasting Syndrome was effecting several starfish species from Alaska to Mexico. The virus was also discovered in preserved museum specimens dating back to the 1940's. What changed? "Melting Stars" follows the clues on this marine mystery.
