This week marks the annual Sea Otter Awareness Week, started and sponsored by the Defenders of Wildlife organization. Sea Otters are listed as an endangered species, which makes this particular week very important. During this week, there are a lot of events taking place that will teach people about the otters, promote research and conservation, and have a number of activities involved. Most of these events are in the US, such as the Sea Otter Awareness Celebration in Pittsburgh, games and craft projects at SeaWorld in San Diego, and a number of activities scheduled in New Orleans. But luckily, there are some international events this year as well, including at the Rotterdam Zoo in The Netherlands, and also at the Melbourne Aquarium in Australia! Whether or not there will be local events for the otters In your area, be sure to get out this week and do something for the otters!
