10. For reasons scientists are trying to understand, while the sea otter’s range IS expanding, the California sea otter population is declining, even in the protected zones, and even when it has Endangered Species designation and funding to help protect it. Do you think people should make an effort to restore the sea otter population ? Why did fishermen fear reintroduction of sea otters? How can we reach a balance between protecting the sea otters and protecting the fishermen’s source of food and income?
