Sept. 20 through 26 is National Sea Otter Awareness week.
According to Friends of the Sea Otter, this week focuses on how we recognize the role sea otters play in the nearshore ecosystem and how they can be removed from the threatened species list.
This week, zoos, museums, researchers, educators, and the public participate in activities that surround sea otters and the issues that they face in their ecosystem. National Sea Otter Awareness week always falls on the last week of September.
