How are sea otters killed?
The sea otters are killed for may reasons. In the 1700-1800s on the coast of California, the sea otter was hunted for its gorgeous pelt. It was killed by fishermen who thought the otters were eating too many of the fish they wanted to catch. The sea otter were hunted almost to extinction. Without the sea otter, fishermen began to see changes in the ecosystem. In a easier way to explain...... They were used for their thin fur, since hunters are killing them they are almost extinct and if we don't have sea otters our ecosystem would be worse then expecting. Plus , every animal is important to the ecosystem. If we don't have otters then sea urchins can gobble up all the kelp in the area. This is why we need otters and we can't let them die.
Why did sea otters almost completely die in the 1800s and early 1900s?
