Sea otters are guardians of the kelp forest.

Annually, throughout the last week of September, we celebrate sea otters during Sea Otter Awareness Week. We encourage zoological and educational institutions, governmental agencies and communities to plan and undertake events that highlight sea otters. These activities include sharing stories, disseminating science and generating media that inspire a deeper awareness of these unique marine mammals, their ecological importance and the many challenges they face.

Happy Sea Otter Awareness Week! Lindsay chats to our California Representative, Andy, about our brand new sea otter story map. Float along with us through southern sea otter habitat so we can all learn how to better coexist with these otterly amazing creatures.
