a message from monterey bay aquarium (please do this!)

This honestly takes like two seconds-- all you have to do is fill out a form. Please help the sea otters! It'd really mean a lot to me.

Help Sea Otters!

California's sea otters are dying, and scientists need help to pinpoint the causes before it's too late. A bill now before Congress would fund vital research that can help save sea otters - if it gets the votes to pass.

The Southern Sea Otter Recovery and Research Act (H.R. 556) will come up for a final vote very soon. Won't you please help promote the recovery of sea otters, and secure the future of our coastal ecosystems along the West Coast?

We urgently need your help.

What you can do

Send a simple electronic letter to your representative and let them know why sea otters and a healthy ocean are important to you. Please don't delay, as we believe that a House vote is imminent.

Tell a friend
Forward this e-mail to a friend or family member and urge them to help save sea otters, too.

Without this legislation, the threatened southern sea otter population will remain at risk from a single environmental catastrophe, such as a pandemic disease or an oil spill.

With the funding provided by H.R. 556, federal agencies, scientists and other groups can work together to put the southern sea otter on a path to recovery.

A healthy sea otter population also secures the health of our coastal waters for other ocean wildlife, for people who use those waters, and those who enjoy seafood.

Please send a letter now to support H.R. 556, the Southern Sea Otter Recovery and Research Act.

Thank you for taking action for sea otters.
