Video Leave a comment

Become sea otter aware beginning September 22

The start of Sea Otter Awareness Week brings about excitement regarding what is new in the world of sea otters.   Will it bring people together to discuss advancements in research; a conservation initiative or an educational effort?  One can never tell.  

Much of the week can be participated in online, but for the most ardent of sea otter fans, lectures are available, extra educational talks are included with regular admission at zoos and aquariums in the United States, Canada & Europe while kayak tours appreciating sea otters and their habitat are often offered in California or Alaska.

Follow our activities during the week here and on our Sea Otter Awareness Week page.

New adoptable plush sea otters available

We are excited to introduce two new stuffed animal sea otters into our family of adoptable plush otters.

Chloe is sweet & cuddly and would love to come home with you.  Chloe makes her home along the California coast & has contributed to the growing population of sea otters there as she has given birth to two sea otter pups. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Otto is a bit rough & tumble as he is from the northern sea otter population along the British Columbia coast. He would make a great addition to any family as long as they have a sustainable amount of clams & crabs – Otto’s favorite foods. 

Ensuring the survival of sea otters in their habitats.
