September 23 – 29 is Sea Otter Awareness Week. A century ago, sea otters were all but gone due to overhunting. Now, they continue to be threatened in the wild as they are faced with environmental issues in their ecosystem.
Jacob, a southern sea otter, lives at the New York Aquarium (NYA.) He and his neighbor, northern sea otter, Tazo, can be photographed year round at the Sea Cliffs exhibit.
Stop by the NYA September 22-23 and 29-30 to learn more about saving sea otters.
