Bring sea otters back to Oregon

Dear USFWS head,

Without otters around to keep them in check, purple sea urchin populations off Oregon's coast have exploded in recent years, mowing down critical kelp forests and creating a nearshore wasteland where few other species can survive.

Every day without sea otters is another day of an ecosystem out of balance-- one that is biologically poorer, less resilient and less helpful in our fight against climate change. I urge you to support sea otter introduction along Oregon's coast.
