Take action for otters taking many directions
The good news is otters are recovering and are moving south into their old stomping grounds along the coast of California. The challenging news is they are moving south. Seems no one told them that they are entering a no otter swim zone established by the US Fish and Wildlife Service has determined to be off limits to sea otters—this means they are not protected by the same laws that cover otters outside of the zone.
Range expansion is normal and necessary for sea otters. Their population cannot recover without it. The unnatural boundaries must be lifted.
Act NOW to end the no-otter zone by writing to Ken McDermond, acting director of the Service’s California and Nevada Operations Office, and request that a FINAL ruling on the no-otter zone be published immediately.
Please sign this letter for the otters’ sake today. “Thank you.” – Mother Nature
