More than just a Furry Face: An in-depth look at sea otters along the Pacific coast

Why do sea otters have such a warm fur coat? What makes them so important to our coastal marine environment? What can sea otters show us about the areas they inhabit? Sea otters have a unique life history that makes them an incredibly important part of the nearshore environment. Join sea otter biologist and UCSC graduate student Benjamin Weitzman to discuss how current research is being used to further our understanding of sea otters, their environment, and the conservation of one of our shorelines most charismatic marine mammals.
