Sea otters play a vital role in marine ecology, and their re-introduction will create a balanced and thriving coastal environment. Sea otters are often deemed “climate warriors” as they help in sequestering carbon by promoting healthy kelp forests. These forests absorb CO2 thereby reducing its concentration in our atmosphere.
