About this Species
Sea Otter
The sea otter is one of the smallest marine mammals in BC, and an important keystone species for protecting the health of the kelp forest. These otters protect the kelp forest by feeding on urchins and preventing them from overgrazing. Otters were once hunted for their dense fur, but otter populations are recovering now after conservation efforts.
Otter populations remain sensitive to human disturbance, and are particularly impacted by marine pollution and oil spills. Sea otter populations can benefit from marine protected areas.
