Tens of thousands of sea otters once roamed the California coast, but fur traders hunting their pelts decimated nearly all populations north of the Golden Gate by the early 20th century.
On their quest to pinpoint ideal sites from the northern tip of Oregon to the San Francisco Bay, the federal government’s otter dreamers came to Emeryville on Thursday, the final stop of aregarding the potential impact of the plan on fishing, industry and other socio-economic factors. For example, in response to some divers’ fear that otter predation will eradicate what little abalone are left to hunt, Carswell shared research that showed how areas that have dense otters also have dense abalone, especially in deep crevasse habitats, which she said “smashes that myth.”
“People might think that we’re further along than we really are, but we are still at the ground floor,” Carswell said, kindly refusing to give Emeryville and the greater Bay Area a grade for its potential to provide a home to otters. “This test won’t be graded — it’s going to be pass/fail only. It’s really too soon to talk about particular sites.
