Sea Otter Program
Offered by The Ecolodge at Tofino Botanical Gardens and last updated on July 29, 2008.
Description
The last sea otter in BC was killed in 1929 following two centuries of commercial hunting, yet today there are about 3,500 sea otters in British Columbia. This 90 minute presentation and discussion with local marine biologist Josie Osborne focuses on the return of this animal to BC waters and its story. Why were sea otters so valuable? How did sea otter hunting become a key turning point in the history of coastal BC? Now that this keystone species is making a comeback, what kind of impact is its recovery having? Join us to find out!
