About this book
Sea Otter Conservation: Nearshore Ecosystem Restoration offers the most updated and revised ecological knowledge for conserving sea otters and their coastal habitats. As sea otters are good indicators of ocean health, they are also keystone species, offering a stabilizing effect on ecosystems, controlling sea urchin populations that can damage kelp forests and thus curbing coastal erosion. This book synthesizes the important relationship between sea otters and conservation of themselves as well as vital marine ecosystems.
Written by experts in the field, this book is structured into two sections to focus first on the latest data, practices, and hands-on research for conserving coastal ecosystems. This section offers links between sea otter presence and increased kelp, seagrass, and geological conservation. The second section focuses on the sea otter specifically, providing up-to-date research, data, and case studies regarding their genetics, habitats, and impacts of climate change.
Sea Otter Conservation: Nearshore Ecosystem Restoration is a vital new edition for marine biologists, conservationists, and zoologists studying sea otters and their environmental importance.
- Covers the fundamental biological and ecological aspects of sea otter conservation
- Provides a detailed account of the influences of sea otters in community ecology, and the broad importance of keystone species recovery in restoring ecosystems
- Describes how historical processes can shape subsequent ecological relationships, particularly when species recover to places from which they were previously extirpated
