This book was released on 2011-03-23 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The bones recovered from the middens of the northeastern Pacific shorelines have important stories to tell biologists, marine mammalogists, and those concerned with marine conservation. This volume unearths a wealth of information about the historical ecology of seals, sea lions, and sea otters in the North Pacific that spans thousands of years. It provides fascinating insights into how the world once looked, and how it may one day look again as seals, sea lions, and sea otters reclaim and recolonize their former haunts.”—Andrew Trites, Director, Marine Mammal Research Unit, University of British Columbia “Braje and Rick have assembled a compelling set of case studies on the long-term and complex interactions between people, marine mammals, and environments in the Northeast Pacific. The promise of zooarchaeology as historical science is on full display, as researchers use geochemistry, aDNA, morphometrics, and traditional analytic methods to address questions of utmost importance to the long-term health of coastal ecosystems. If this book doesn't convince conservation biology about the need to take the long view of animal histories and ecosystems into account in developing conservation management plans, I'm not sure what will.”—Virginia L. Butler, Department of Anthropology, Portland State University

This book was released on 2016-12-22 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Seals, Sea-Lions, and Sea Otter of the Pacific Coast: Descriptions, Life History Notes, Photographs and Drawings The adult male is about 4 feet in length and weighs up to 85 pounds; the female 4 feet and 55 pounds; the newborn young 16 to 22 inches and 3 to 5 pounds. The dark brown fur of the sea otter is 1 to 1-1/ 2 inches long with scattered guard hairs. In the adult these hairs are often black' or silver. The face is light in color, and is flatter than that of any seal. Sea otters are gregarious, and a group of a hundred or more may remain together for a long time, resting or playing near some favorite kelp bed. When the weather is mild the animals spend most of their time in the water but during storms they take refuge among the rocks along the beach. The sea otter walks clumsily on land and early fur hunters took advantage of this fact to hunt them with clubs at favorite hauling-out places in stormy weather. The large, flat molar teeth of the sea otter are distinctive, differ ing greatly from the sharply pointed molars of seals and sea-lions. Many sea otters are exceptionally tractable and will take food from the hand within a few minutes after capture. Such animals seem almost oblivious to human presence. Vocal sounds vary from the harsh kitten-like mewing of the pup to the grunts, growls, and high pitched shrieks of the adults.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Captivating. . . . a full portrait of this adorable and ecologically important animal." —Publishers Weekly A science journalist travels the Pacific Coast in search of sea otters in this entertaining and inspiring book on the importance and history of this charismatic endangered species Sea otters—the adorable, furry marine mammals often seen floating on their backs holding hands—reveal the health of the coastal ecosystem along the Pacific Ocean. Once hunted for their prized fur in the 18th and 19th centuries, these animals nearly went extinct. Only now, nearly a century after hunting ceased, are populations showing stable growth in some places. Sea otters are a keystone species in coastal areas, feeding on sea urchins, clams, crab, and other crustaceans. When they are present, kelp beds are thick and healthy, providing homes for an array of sea life. When otters disappear, sea urchins take over, and the kelp disappears along with all the creatures that live in the beds. Now, thanks to their protected status, sea otters are making a comeback in California, Washington, and Alaska. In this hopeful book, science writer Todd McLeish embarks on an epic journey along the Pacific Coast—traveling from California to Alaska—to track the status, health, habits, personality, and viability of sea otters, and reveals how conservationists brought them back from the brink of extinction.

In Southern Sea Otters: Fur-tastrophe Avoided, children relive the inspiring and heroic efforts of people who stepped in to save this remarkable creature when all seemed lost. Through this true tale of wildlife survival, children discover the bold and creative ideas that Americans and their government have used to protect and care for the country’s endangered wildlife.
