Jun/2001 - PDF Format (2.54MB) Draft Sea Otter Recovery Plan
Jun/2000 - PDF Format (458KB) The sea otter is classified as an endangered species in Washington (WAC ). The DepartmentÂs listing procedures (WAC , Appendix B) require that recovery plans be written for species listed as endangered or threatened by the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission. The sea otter recovery plan summarizes the historic and current distribution and abundance of the sea otter in Washington, describes factors affecting the population and its habitat, sets recovery objectives and prescribes strategies to recover the species in the state. A Sea Otter Working Group was established to provide input and help guide the development and completion of the recovery plan. The preliminary draft of the plan was written in 1999 and was peer reviewed by sea otter experts. The Draft Sea Otter Recovery Plan was released for a 90-day public review in 2000. This document is the Final Plan, which has had the public review comments addressed and has been updated with a great deal of new information developed during 2000-2004.
