Summary
When I was a commercial diver in California, I often found myself surrounded by great swarms of marine mammals--seals and sea lions, mostly. But every once in a while we were rewarded by a sea otter, the most iconic of all marine mammals. Hunted almost to extinction (their numbers went from 300,000 to 50, then bounced back), they are a charismatic keystone species that hold a special place in my heart.
