After Dark: Sea Otters

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Get to know one of California’s most charming marine mammals-sea otters. These top predators boast hearty appetites, and they’re essential to maintaining the balance of nearshore ecosystems. This evening’s event, presented in partnership with Sea Otter Awareness Week, features talks by Ohlone Cafe co-founders Vincent Medina and Louis Trevino, recounting the long history of sea otters in Northern California-their thriving pre-colonial populations, being driven near to extinction through hunting, and today’s ongoing efforts to nurture and restore otter populations. And we’ll join Sea Otter Savvy’s Heather Barrett for the inside scoop on sea otter biology.
