Sea Otter Viewing Guideline Development

How can you help?
Please take a few minutes to give us feedback!
Let’s make these guidelines safe and practical. It is a criminal offence to harass or harm a sea otter, so we want to make sure that the guidelines are stringent enough to safeguard the otters and at the same time allow for safe viewing.
Participants in this survey and the data collection sheet for sightings can have their company linked on our "Participants" page.
