💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🍝🤌 A sea urchin #pasta craze is fueling illegal nighttime #poaching in #Naples’ #Gaiola Underwater Park.
Marine biologists found that poachers strip up to 17% of the park’s purple #urchins in one night – removing a #keystonespecies that keeps algal growth in check and supports #predator #fish populations. The trade is entirely black market in #Campania, with scientists calling for a nationwide harvest moratorium.
