A dry and groomed sea otter swims near its raft in Halibut Cove, near Homer, Alaska in October. Other regions in the mainland US are learning from the Alaskan sea otter experience. “We are not necessarily dead set against sea otter reintroduction,” says Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission executive director Tim Novotny. “The concern is, you don’t want to put a floating time bomb of furry crab-eaters in the water.
