We're a 501(c)3 non-profit working towards the reintroduction of sea otters to help create a more robust & resilient marine ecosystem in Oregon.
⭐️Our beloved sea stars are more than just #tidepool treasures -they’re key players in the health of our coastal ecosystems. With threats like Sea Star Wasting Syndrome still impacting populations, volunteers play a critical role in keeping watch. oregonlive.com/environment/20…
WE NEED YOUR HELP - Tell #ODFW to include #seaotters in the future #conservation plans for the #OregonCoast 👏 Share your voice using the link below! elakhaalliance.org/action-alert-w…
🍼Baby #seaotters are most commonly called pups, though they can also be referred to as kits. These fluffy pups come into the world wrapped in a thick, buoyant coat that keeps them bobbing on the surface like fuzzy little corks while mom dives for food. 📸: Mimi Ditchie

Yesterday, there were hundreds if not thousands of brown pelicans feeding on bait fish in the Klamath River estuary and plume. Less than 1 year after the removal of 4 dams, this is another sign the river is healing .

Ollie the sea otter snuggles with kelp as he naps near the shoreline. Ollie is now quite old—we estimate between 12 and 15 years old. That’s the top end of a male sea otter lifespan, so every encounter with him these days is a bonus! Shorelines Photography #Wild4Whales
You might want to think twice before inviting a #seaotter to your weekend BBQ 🌭 - they’d probably devour everything in sight! This sea otter photographed by @lauralefurgeysmi, is seen snacking on sea urchins💥 - one of the 100+ species #seaotters prey upon.
