What might happen to the sea star population after oyster beds are destroyed?
Answer (2)
Sea stars (or starfish) feed off the oyster beds. If the oyster beds were destroyed it would deplete the major food source of the sea stars and they would begin to diminish.
The destruction of oyster beds would likely lead to a decline in the sea star population due to a loss of their primary food source. This would also disrupt the broader marine ecosystem, as sea stars play a critical role as predators. Conserving oyster populations is essential for maintaining balanced marine ecosystems.
