The role of rehabilitation in sea otter conservation efforts
Article Abstract:
Wildlife rehabilitation programs provide opportunities to the community to view rare animals, such as sea otters, and learn about the conservation of such animals. The rehabilitation programs offer research opportunities, facilitate understanding of biology of species and enhance the scientific foundation for conservation programs. They give rise to pubic empathy for the animals and environments, which can motivate the government to act. The aim of the rehabilitation programs is to develop conservation measures for marine biodiversity.

The state of California's role in the conservation of sea otters and other aquatic resources
Article Abstract:
The goal of the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) of the State of California is to serve the public by conserving and managing natural resources for their ecological values. The CDFG has defined six objectives to provide guidance in carrying out the policy for conserving aquatic resources. With the enactment of the Marine Mammal Protection Act in 1972, the CDFG's role shifted to that of advocacy of zonal management and sea otter protection.
