As authorities extend their dragnet over land, sea and air, the renegade sea otter known as '841' continues to evade capture while snacking on shellfish.
— in coordination with California Department of Fish and Wildlife and biologists from the Monterey Bay Aquarium — have tried repeatedly to trap the otter from “both surface and underwater approaches.” Recent attempts have involved a “bait” surfboard and diver, and a nearby boat with a net and box to trap her.On Monday, a four-person crew took motorboat into the area where she likes to swim, dive for urchins and crabs, and loll in the kelp.
“This is her home,” said Jessica Beane, 48, of San Bruno. “They should leave her alone and let her be.” On Saturday, July 15, officials tried to capture her in front of hundreds of onlookers, many of whom had come to the coast to escape the oppressive inland heat. Woodward said two U.S. Coast Guard boats were also on the scene Saturday, while a Coast Guard helicopter circled above.
