The red sea urchin (Mesocentrotus franciscanus)[1] is a sea urchin found in the northeastern Pacific Ocean from Alaska to Baja California. It lives in shallow waters from the low-tide line to greater than 280 m (920 ft) deep,[2] and is typically found on rocky shores sheltered from extreme wave action in areas where kelp is available.[3][4]
