You Can Help Protect Sea Otters

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is undertaking a process to clarify terms under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of what would constitute a native handicraft item made from a sea otter pelt. The environmental and scientific communities are concerned that this would add hunting pressure on sea otters in Southeast Alaska and elsewhere in Alaska and that this is being carried out as a means of managing fisheries through predator control.
