@BabyLonia I have always enjoyed your posting this on your previous name. But I’ve been hearing things, about a plan to help me introduce see otters, to the Oregon coast part of the original native range. I have certainly seen river otters in the coastal Rivers. I like otters Apparentlyyou do to Heard anything? I suppose I could just Google it but I like people as source’s
@BabyLonia I think that’s my interest, the Oregon coast is once home to see otters in abundance. Since they were lost due to the fur trade, the balance between kelp, and the creatures that feed on that help has been altered. So this would not be an introduction, but a re-introduction. The otters help control the population of those creatures that eat the kelp. In California where there is still a healthy population that balance is clear. No I am not always optimistic about attempts to repair ecological damage, recently we’ve had some good success. In Oregon for instants a number ofPrairie and open grass land plants have been removed from the endangered species list due to careful stewardship of that natural environment
