ArtistIn times of climate change, entire colonies of predatory sea urchins have left overgrazed oceans and tidal pools, where they left behind urchin barrens, in search of new food sources. They have migrated up the rocky shores to steep cliffs and beyond to rocky plains, where they have attached themselves to rocks and rubble in large swarms. The voracious sea urchins have acquired a degree of mobility now, and feed on small rodents, insects and nesting birds on the wind-swept, stony plains. The sea urchins have retained their dark purple color and have kept their dozens of extremely long, sharp, gray-white spines, protecting them from any natural enemies. The sea urchins have adapted to life on the rocky coastal and inland plains and have become a new destructive, invasive species. The style is a biological illustration with scientific precision, drawn as line art in bold colors.
Imagined shifts in marine fauna in times of climate change: Sea urchins have left the ocean in search of new food sources and habitats in times of climate change. Beware!
