Ecological & Economic Importance of Sea Otters in Oregon 

Excellent, glad we have your support :)

That's what we are working so diligently to do 🦦

He did miss including Washington state, which is another successful sea otter re-introduction story.

Thanks John! We're happy with how it turned out too.

Thanks, Cliff. There are many river otters along the Oregon and California coasts and in addition to living in the rivers and creeks, they often come down to the intertidal area to forage. You are correct that there are sea otters in and near Carmel and Monterey, California but there are none north of Santa Cruz until you get to the Olympic coast in Washington.

Hi Cliff, thanks for the comment. We do have North American River Otters in Oregon that often forage and swim in the intertidal zone, and at river mouths near the ocean. That's what you are encountering. Yes, there are definitely a resident populations of sea otters in Carmel/Monterey Bay, but that's in California. We don't have a resident population of sea otters on the Oregon coast.
