So I got my first quote in the news as the official representative of The Otter Project. The link to our website is wrong, and hopefully we can correct that tomorrow, but otherwise, pretty sweet.
Unfortunately, we are reporting not so great news–the otter population seems to be struggling downwards once again. Steve made me take out the quote where I called myself the “herald of doom” (I thought it had a nice dramatic ring to it myself), but the point is the same. Sea otters are declining, and we’re still not doing enough.
I won’t proselytize here, because that’s not what this blog is about, but I do want to say, for those of you who wonder why exactly I’m devoting a substantial chunk of my life to the sea otter when there’s a lot to be done all across the board, that sea otters matter. Not just because individual animals with cute fuzzy faces matter (although I think they do) but because they play a huge role in keeping everything else in the ecosystem going. And we’re only just beginning to realize how important that is.
So if you haven’t already, check us out!
