| Description |
Success for the Sea Otter! Sea otters were once locally extinct from the Washington coast, but in 1969 and 1970, 59 sea otters were relocated there from Alaska. These otters have thrived: as of 2016, more than 1,800 individuals call the Washington coast home! Most of them live in the waters of Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary. Each year, researchers survey the population -- the 2016 census was organized by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, with assistance from volunteers and staff from the sanctuary, Seattle Aquarium, and the Point Defiance Zoo. One large raft of over 600 sea otters was observed off the mouth of the Hoh River! Photo Credit: NOAA |
