The iconic southern sea otter has been protected under the Endangered Species Act since 1977. With fewer than 3,200 remaining, the threats this keystone species face reveal as much about the complex relationship between humans and nature as they do about sea otters.

Join Kim Steinhardt for an inspiring photographic journey through the fascinating life of these creatures – as well as a look into the fast-evolving legal and policy side of this story. Today, the Endangered Species Act itself is endangered and the survival of the southern sea otter and many other vital creatures could hang in the balance.
