All rights reserved. 301 302 Sea Otter Conservation INTRODUCTION: REGIME SHIFTS AND TRANSFORMATIONS ALONG NORTH AMERICA’S NORTHWEST COAST One of our legends explains that the sea otter was originally a man. While col- lecting chitons he was trapped by an incoming tide. To save himself, he wished to become an otter. His transformation created all otters. Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository (2005) Human interactions with sea otters and kelp forest ecosystems have spanned millennia ( Figure 11.1 ; Rick et al., 2011 ). In fact, archeological evidence suggests that the highly productive kelp forests of the Pacific Rim may have sustained the original coastal ocean migration route of maritime people to the Americas near the end of the Pleistocene ( Erlandson et al., 2007 ). Similarly, many coastal First Nations stories speak of ancestors who came from the sea (Boas, 1932; Brown and Brown, 2009; Guujaaw, 2005; Swanton, 1909). Yet this vast and aqueous “kelp highway,” providing food, tools, trade goods, and safe anchorage for sophisticated watercraft, would have been highly susceptible to overgrazing by sea urchins had it not been FIGURE 11.1 Sea otter pictographs from Kachemak Bay, Alaska.

  • Pelagic Protected Areas: the Greatest Parks Challenge of the 21St Century
    Protected Areas Programme Vol 15 No 3 HIGH SEAS MARINE PROTECTED AREAS 2005 Pelagic protected areas: the greatest parks challenge of the 21st century ELLIOTT NORSE “…the animals which live in the watery depths, above all in ocean waters… are protected against the destruction of their species at the hand of man. Their reproductive rate is so large and the means which they have to save themselves from his pursuits or traps are such that there is no evidence that he can destroy the entire species of any of these animals.” Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, Zoological Philosophy (1809) Open oceans are being drained of their large wildlife, and traditional management tools have proven woefully ineffectual in slowing this loss. To save pelagic megafauna targeted by fisheries (e.g. sharks, billfishes, tunas) and killed incidental to fishing (e.g. sea turtles, albatrosses and dolphins), protected areas merit serious examination. Oceanic megafauna have been considered poor candidates for protection within marine protected areas (MPAs) because these animals are highly migratory and their movements were little-known by scientists until very recently. However, fishermen have learned to find them, and new tools allow scientists to understand their movements as well. Because pelagic megafauna concentrate in specific places at certain times that can be predicted or observed, place-based approaches can be used to conserve them. The highly migratory nature of pelagic megafauna does not preclude the use of protected areas which are, indeed, used to conserve highly migratory non-marine species. Some of the hotspots where pelagic megafauna congregate can shift, predictably or unpredictably, and this poses a novel challenge, one that can be met by establishing MPAs with dynamic boundaries.
