Sea otters (Enhydra lutris) are once again a thriving part of the nearshore ecosystem around Tofino and Ucluelet. 🦦
🐾 These marine mammals were wiped out from British Columbia’s coast in the early 1900s due to their value in the fur trade. In the 1970s, a small group was reintroduced from Alaska to the west coast of Vancouver Island. Since then, their population has steadily grown, and they are now reclaiming portions of their historic range.
🦦 keystone predators, sea otters have a huge influence on coastal ecosystems. By preying on sea urchins, crabs, and other invertebrates, they help prevent overgrazing of kelp forests. These habitats support hundreds of species, store carbon, and protect shorelines from wave action.
🪨 Fun fact!... Sea otters use rocks to help break open their hard or spiky meals. And when not in use, they store their rocks in their armpits!
🐾 Keep an eye out for these charismatic animals floating in the kelp beds. You might spot one wrapped in the fronds to keep from drifting away, or dozens all rafted up together.🌊
