Purple sea urchins can live for decades due to several factors, including their slow metabolic rate, which reduces their energy requirements and prolongs longevity. Their ability to withstand varying environmental conditions, such as changes in temperature and salinity, also contributes to their resilience. Additionally, they have few natural predators in their adult stage, which helps them survive longer in their natural habitats.

"When kids say 'average' they are really getting themselves into trouble! Most sea urchins are mass spawners, producing several million eggs. If even a tiny percentage are fertilized, you will have thousands of live offspring. And only a small percentage of these survive in their planktonic form without starving or being eaten until they find a place to settle as tiny adult urchins. Of these, only a handful will survive to spawn (and perhaps none). If I were being mathematically and linguistically correct I would have to answer your question, "The *average* lifespan of an urchin is 10-12 days!"On the west coast the intertidal sea urchins that kids come in contact with, like purple sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus), are thought to be able live as long as thirty years.
