Looking for summer reading for an advanced middle schooler or high schooler? Meet KP2, the Hawaiian monk seal who captured hearts and brought attention to its endangered species! 🦭💙 Abandoned as a pup on Kaua'i, KP2 was rescued and rehabilitated by NOAA. Though he struggled to adapt to the wild, his friendly nature led him to a new home at UC Santa Cruz, where he became a symbol of hope and conservation. KP2's journey highlights the challenges of wildlife rescue and the importance of protecting our marine friends. 🌊✨ This book can also be borrowed on Libby by OverDrive!☺️🦭 — #SaveTheSeals #MarineConservation #KP2 #HawaiianMonkSeal #SantaCruz #California #AeonforOcean #HappyWednesday #Reading #Hawaii

Facts You Otter Know: Sea otters are most known for their playful spirit but did you know that they are incredibly smart and adaptable? While they are the smallest marine mammal, they make a large contribution to their environment. Otters are a keystone species, meaning that they play a critical role in the survival of their ecosystem. They eat sea urchins and other invertebrates that harm the habitats that sustain an abundance of fish, seabirds, and various other animals. Without as many sea urchins, kelp forests become more abundant. When otter numbers increase, estuaries recover which lessens the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide that warms our planet too quickly. But unfortunately, sea otter populations are decreasing due to situations outside of their control. Pollution, oil spills and habitat deconstruction all act as threats to sea otters and their survival. Plastics in the ocean pollute the water with toxic chemicals and often are mistaken for food from our furry little friends which they cannot digest properly. Oil spills ruin the coating on otter fur that allows them to regulate their body temperature. When humans harvest kelp commercially, kelp decreases which takes away the otter's habitat. But there are ways we can help! Research, public education, and rehabilitation can all play a part in protecting these marine mammals. Organizations like the Otter Project help by “securing protected sea otter habitat, defending California’s kelp forests, eliminating devastating sea otter mortalities, and safeguarding our coastal communities.” Another group is the International Otter Survival Fund who help by saving the otters, stopping the otter trade and educating young people about otter survival. Lots of great work is being done to help conserve otter populations and help restore marine ecosystems. The more we know, the more we can help! What do you know about otters? Comment below!
