Sea otters, once nearly extinct due to excessive hunting, have successfully rebounded in British Columbia, playing a crucial role in stabilizing kelp forests by curbing sea urchin overpopulation.

Finding the right balance in conservation strategies is essential to protect both species from growing pressures.
