Protection of Biodiversity and Climate Change
Caption Description
Sea otters at the Elkhorn Slough Ecological Reserve, an estuary located along Monterey Bay, California, United States. Sea Otters are a federally protected species under the Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act and they play a crucial ecological role, particularly in kelp forests, where they help control sea urchin populations that would otherwise harm the kelp. Kelp forests are vital for biodiversity and act as carbon sinks, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change. Elkhorn Slough Ecological Reserve is part of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, one of the largest marine sanctuaries in the United States, with a shoreline length of 276 miles (444 km).
