Today’s episode is all about one of the most charismatic of all charismatic megafauna, the sea otter!  Sea otters are a crucial part of nearshore marine ecosystems, but they were wiped out along the Oregon coast over 100 years ago.

The Elakha Alliance has been working tirelessly for years to bring them back, and I’m so excited to be joined by Jane Bacchieri and Chanel Hason to learn more.

As a note, we did an episode with Elakha co-founder Bob Bailey a few years ago, but I’ve been wanting to check back in with them for a while now.

As always, the show email is [email protected], please reach out anytime!
