status, trends, and equilibrium abundance estimates of the translocated sea otter population in washington state

Sagot :

Prior to their local extinction in the early 1900s as a result of the marine fur trade, sea otters (Enhydra lutris kenyoni) once lived in Washington State, USA.

After being extinct, 59 sea otters were brought from Amchitka Island in Alaska, USA, to the coast of Washington. Of these, 29 were released in 1969 at Point Grenville and 30 in 1970 at La Push.

Estimates of the translocated sea otter population's status, trends, and equilibrium abundance in Washington State

  • A chosen sample level and a target geographic distribution are the two key goals set forth by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife for the recovery of sea otters.
  • Estimations of these characteristics have significant management consequences because recovery requirements are dependent on estimates of populations abundance, equilibrium abundance, and geographic distribution.
  • In order to assess history and present abundance as well as equilibrium abundance at various spatial scales, we collated all survey data for sea otters that have been recorded in Washington State since their relocation (1977–2019).
  • As a foundation for a sensitivity analysis to gauge the relative impact of movement behavior, in Journal of Wildlife Management, we then utilized forward predictions of population dynamics to investigate different scenarios of range recolonization.
