Description

How would you take care of a Sea Otter? In this episode of One Wild World, we meet Melanie Oerter, the curator of mammals at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Melanie recounts her path from a childhood passion for animals all the way to a career focused on marine mammals – sea otters in particular. She discusses the vital ecological role sea otters play, the Aquarium's innovative otter surrogacy program, and the broader conservation efforts aimed at preserving ocean health.
