Answer:

1. southwestern sea otters include entrapment or entanglement in fishing gear, oil spills, and climate change.

2. Reduce, reuse, and recycle whenever you can.

Grow a garden. The roots take in water, reducing the amount of runoff.

Use nontoxic household cleaning products.

Don’t litter or dump materials into storm drains.

Pick up after your pets.

Use less water.

Purchase sustainable, recycled, biodegradable goods.

Volunteer to help or create a beach clean up.

Get your car oil changed to prevent leaks.

3. They eat sea urchins and other invertebrates that graze on giant kelp. Without sea otters, these grazing animals can destroy kelp forests and consequently the wide diversity of animals that depend upon kelp habitat for survival.

4. sea otters are critical to maintaining the balance of nearshore ecosystems, such as kelp forests, embayments and estuaries. Without sea otters, sea urchins can overpopulate the sea floor and devour the kelp forests that provide cover and food for many other marine animals.

1.Reduce, reuse, and recycle whenever you can.

2.Dispose of hazardous wastes properly.

3.Use nontoxic household cleaning products.

4.Don't litter or dump materials into storm drains

5.Purchase sustainable, recycled, biodegradable goods.

6. Range expansion is key to southern sea otter recovery and to the restoration of ecosystems in which sea otters were once the keystone species.

Southern sea otters play a critical role as a keystone species.

Without sea otters, sea urchins can overpopulate the sea floor and devour the kelp forests that provide cover and food for many other marine animals. Sea otters help ecosystems capture carbon from the atmosphere and store it as biomass and deep-sea detritus, preventing it from being converted back to carbon dioxide and contributing to climate change.
