Sea Otter Awareness Week starts today! 🦦🌿 This charismatic animal is more than just a cute face – it also plays a critical role in keeping kelp forests healthy along the Pacific Coast. Sea otters feed on sea urchins, keeping sea urchin populations in balance. If left unchecked, urchins can overgraze and destroy these kelp forests. So as sea otters eat sea urchins, they are helping biodiversity in these kelp forests to flourish! Learn more about these marine mammals: https://oceana.ly/46FwTLt |
