Sea Otter 2025 is a conservation initiative launched in 2015 to protect and restore sea otter populations along the Pacific coast of North America. The goal of the initiative is to increase the number of sea otters to 2025 by the year 2025.
Sea otters are keystone species, meaning they play a vital role in their ecosystem. They prey on sea urchins, which can damage kelp forests. Kelp forests provide food and shelter for a variety of marine life, so protecting sea otters helps to protect the entire ecosystem.
