@tcgoesplaces: Did you know purple sea urchins are considered an invasive species in California? They overgraze on kelp and can destroy entire kelp forests if their population isn’t controlled. That’s why some divers harvest them to help restore balance to the ecosystem 🌊💙 Urchins, especially the red ones, are highly prized in Japan. A single tray of premium uni can sell for $100–$200 at seafood markets or sushi restaurants 🍣💸 In California, large urchins can go for $15–$80 each, depending on the type and quality. 🐚Tag a friend who loves sea urchins. 👉 Follow @tcgoesplaces for more ocean adventures & travel inspo! 🌴🤿 . . . . . #oceanlover #diving #catchandcook #freediving #seaurchin
