I am developing a research article on Asterias amurensis' invasion in California as a result of the 2011 tsunami in Japan. I would like to link my information to this page under a subject heading, including the science behind the invasion, repercussions in the ecosystem and society and how people will respond.

This article was the subject of an educational assignment in 2013 Q3. Further details were available on the "Education Program:Louisiana State University/HNRS 1035:Natural Disturbances and Society" page, which is now unavailable on the wiki.

This article, one of many about a species of animal, contains almost nothing about the biology (morphology, habits, reproduction, etc.) of the organism. Instead, it is almost entirely a discussion of the organism's status as an invasive species in other regions. It really needs a return to the basic form. -- Piledhigheranddeeper ( talk) 21:28, 28 February 2014 (UTC) reply
