Sea Otters: In the Field

Defenders of Wildlife is actively participating in sea otter conservation, education and advocacy.

Our efforts in California include:

  • Stakeholder meetings
  • Working with state and federal agencies
  • Testifying at hearings involving sea otter recovery and conservation issues
  • Educational outreach (presentations to schools, community groups, and others)
  • Legislation

In Alaska, we serve on the Southwest Alaska Sea Otter Recovery Team and coordinate sea otter conservation, education and recovery efforts.
