The secret life of sea otters: Guardians of the kelp forest

🌊 Dive into the world of sea otters with Teri Nicholson, senior research biologist at Monterey Bay Aquarium, as she uncovers the crucial role these mighty marine mammals play in kelp forest ecosystems. By eating grazers (like abalone and urchins), sea otters maintain balance, helping kelp forests-and all those who depend on them-thrive.

We've been stuck at about 3000 as the wild population for some time now. We need to figure out innovative ways to get them to extend their range to its original span. Only then will we see any reduction in the rate of coastal erosion.
