<br />
Conservation: The Yellow Sea is one of the most threatened marine areas on earth. Land reclamation has destructed more than 60% of tidal wetlands in only 50 years. Rapid coastal development for agriculture, aquaculture and industrial.development are primary drivers of coastal destruction in the region. In addition pollution, harmful algal blooms, invasion of introduced species are having a negative effect. There are 25 intentionally introduced species and 9 unintentionally introduced species in the Yellow Sea marine ecosystem.

These ancient animals are often called sea lilies and they live in both shallow water and as depth water as 9 000 meters (30 000 feet). This variant have both small legs and longer feeding arms, and they can also actively swim buy undulating their feeding arms in an amazing swimming style.<br />
