It’s Sea Otter Awareness Week! Sea otters are considered a keystone species because their feeding habits help balance the food chain, restore coastal habitats, and make it possible for entire ecosystems to thrive. Despite their importance, sea otters are threatened by a variety of human activities including plastic and chemical pollution as well as urban runoff, which introduces diseases, parasites, and other toxic compounds into their habitats. Raise awareness about the importance of sea otters and the threats they face with our gorgeous black and teal awareness bracelets!
