Title: Alaska: Habitat for Sea Otters
Date: October 7,2009
Author: THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Summary: The Fish and Wildlife Service designated more than 5,800 square miles as critical habitat for sea otters in the Aleutian Islands, Bering Sea and Alaska Peninsula. Ninety percent of the world’s sea otters live in coastal Alaska, but for reasons unknown their numbers have plummeted in many areas.
Response: This is very good, Endangered species are on the rise, and sea otters like many animals native to Alaska are becoming more at risk. Giving sea otters this designated land should hopefully reduce the growing extinction risk.
