Highlights from Sea Otter Awareness Week 2007

Missed Sea Otter Awareness Week 2007?

Sea Otter Awareness Week 2007 was a huge success, with events held not only in California, but up the entire west coast including Canada and Alaska, as well as in New York and Illinois.

Many thanks to the sponsors, the museums, marine institutions, aquariums, schools, researchers and many more that participated and made the week a success.
