Sea Otters Would Thrive In San Francisco Bay: Study
"Our predictions are that San Francisco Bay could potentially support around 6,000 sea otters on average."
BAY AREA (KPIX 5) — Sea otter populations could boom in the San Francisco Bay if the otters were to get a boost from humans and were relocated into the bay waters, according to a new study led by marine biologist Brent Hughes at Sonoma State University.
“Putting them in SF bay could double, maybe triple the population,” said Hughes. “Our predictions are that San Francisco Bay could potentially support around 6,000 sea otters on average.”
