Footage recorded by Brett Willyard, a citizen of Cannon Beach, Oregon.
This video showcases two male sea otters on the northern Oregon coast on June 8th, 2024. They have been spotted there again on June 28th and July 2nd, 2024. These sea otters most likely swam down from the closest established sea otter population, which is off of the Olympic coast in Washington state. Oregon has not had a resident population of sea otters for over a century after they were made locally extinct after the maritime fur trade. The non-profit, Elakha Alliance, is working to restore Oregon's sea otter population to make our marine ecosystems more robust and resilient. Learn more: www.oregonseaotters.org
