Sea Otter Action Plan Workshops

The Sea Otter Recovery Team and Fisheries and Oceans Canada held a series of coastal workshops between February 7 - February 21, 2004 to draft a Recovery Action Plan for Sea Otters. Sea Otters in BC are classified as Threatened by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC).

Under the Species at Risk Act (SARA), an 'Action Plan' is required as the second component in a 2-part recovery process. The Recovery Action Plan for Sea Otters in Canada will detail the specific activities being recommended to implement the National Recovery Strategy for Sea Otters in Canada that was drafted in 2003 as the scientific basis to recovering this Species At Risk.
