From the Introduction to Return of the Sea Otter “I was drawn to sea otters during numerous wildlife-watching vacations to California and Alaska in my thirties and forties…experiences that convinced me to write this book. My research took me to Seward, Alaska as well as to the Aleutian Islands, Homer, Juneau, and Prince of Wales Island in Alaska; to Vancouver and Vancouver Island in British Columbia; to the Olympic Peninsula of Washington; and up and down the central coast of California. During those travels, I helped numerous scientists with their research; observed sea otter autopsies and surgeries; met with fishermen and Native Alaskans unhappy about the growing population of sea otters; watched sea otters from a kayak, sailboat, motel room, cliff, restaurant, and research vessel; visited several aquariums where otters were being rehabilitated and exhibited; and interviewed dozens of sea otter biologists and enthusiasts. Those experiences gave me an even greater appreciation for the natural history—and the associated controversies—of the cutest animal on earth.” — Todd McLeish.
