Mission Statement
Friends of the Sea Otter (FSO) is an advocacy group dedicated to actively working with state and federal agencies to maintain the current protections for sea otters as well as to increase and broaden these preservation efforts. We wish to inspire the public at large about the otters' unique behavior and habitat.
Description
Friends of the Sea Otter is currently working on a variety of different projects to help conservation efforts of the southern sea otter. Specifically, FSO is actively working with local officials to clean up stormwater pollution in the Monterey Bay region and educate the public about water quality issues. In addition, FSO has a retail and education center where we sell otter-related merchandise and educate residents and tourists about the otter population. We also participate in classroom workshops where we teach children about the importance of the ocean and the sea otter. We are looking to expand our programs and do a variety of different outreach activities.
