Shoutout to kelp forests!
Kelp forests are amazing underwater ecosystems that sustain a huge variety of marine life and have numerous benefits. They are fast-growing, dynamic and resilient and something we need to strive to protect as we coexist with our marine world.
As the holidays are approaching and the year is quickly coming to a close, we want to thank you for your incredible support this year. We are so thankful to be able to share our love for all things sea otters and have followers like you who love sea otters right along with us! 🩵
Visit theotterproject.org/blog/cel… to read our blog and learn more about the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary designation!
We’d like to announce that the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary designation is officially underway, making it one of 17 national marine sanctuaries in the United States and the FIRST to be tribally-nominated!
This new sanctuary should fill the space between the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, which is a huge stretch of coastline. This is a super exciting time because not only will this sanctuary preserve Chumash history...

Did you know?
Sea otters are very social creatures and will hold hands while sleeping to keep each other from drifting away. This is also a technique used to keep themselves warm since sea otters don’t have blubber, and also as a safeguard against predators.
