Sea otter comeback on California coast sparks hope and debate
The sea otter, once driven near extinction, is recovering along California’s central coast from Monterey southward. Tourism thrives as travelers watch otters feed and nurse pups, while lawmakers and fishermen clash over protection, abalone beds, and potential relocation. The species' revival follows a Carmel rescue in 1938, and ongoing debates center on otter impacts, commercial abalone hopes, and wildlife management.
