Northern Pacific Seastars might look fascinating, but they’re a real threat to Victorian coastlines. These invasive species have a significant impact on our marine ecosystems, preying on native species and disrupting local biodiversity.

At Melbourne Polytechnic, our Restoration of Aquatic Habitat unit equips students with the knowledge and skills to tackle these challenges. Through a mix of theory and hands-on experience, students explore the complexities of restoration ecology, focusing on how invasive species like the Northern Pacific Seastar disrupt our marine environments and the strategies needed to restore balance.
