Secure protected sea otter habitat, save California’s kelp forests, eliminate sea otter mortalities, and care for our coasts.

To do your part to keep these mammal’s safe—give the otters their space, make sure to not encircle them in a kayak, back away if there are any behavioral changes, and avoid approaching head on. These helpful tips enable the sea otters to get their much-needed rest to ensure their energy supplies are not wasted.
