It's #SeaOtterAwarenessWeek! 🦦🌿 Sea otters don’t just hang out in kelp forests—they help them thrive! By feeding on sea urchins, otters keep populations in check and prevent them from overgrazing these vital underwater forests. So what may seem like just a tasty snack to sea otters, actually helps maintain biodiversity in kelp forests, allowing them to flourish. 🌊 This important role in their ecosystem makes sea otters a keystone species. Oceana works to protect marine species like sea otters by safeguarding critical ocean habitat, campaigning against offshore drilling, and defending legislation like the Endangered Species Act. 💙 Join us in standing up for sea otters with the #linkinbio!
