Jaunty backstroke
Through forest of kelp
Flirting with a friend
She dives
Then resurfaces
Claim in her class
Lunch on the beach
In Monterey Bay

Monterey Bay Aquarium is using hashtag #SeaOtterAwarenesdWeek this week on Twitter and social media to bring attention to conservation efforts for protecting and growing sea otter populations along the coast of California and in the Pacific Ocean.

For more than 30 years, the Monterey Bay Aquarium has been a key contributor to sea otter recovery in California. Aquarium researchers and policy experts have advanced scientific knowledge, promoted improved management and raised public awareness of the contributions sea otters make to healthy coastal ecosystems.
