About the event
Annually, throughout the last full week of September, we celebrate sea otters during Sea Otter Awareness Week (Sept 20-26). We encourage zoological and educational institutions, governmental agencies and communities to plan and undertake events that highlight sea otters. These activities include sharing stories, disseminating science and generating media that inspire a deeper awareness of these unique marine mammals, their ecological importance and the many challenges they face.
Sea Otter Awareness Week is organized and sponsored by Defenders of Wildlife, Sea Otter Savvy, California Department of Parks and Recreation, the Elakha Alliance, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
There are multiple events on the coast, in the Willamette Valley and Portland Metro areas. See the full list of Sea Otter Awareness activities in Oregon via our valued ORCAH Partners Elakha Alliance.
