Sea Otter Storytime with author Isabelle Groc
Hunted to near extinction for their valuable fur in the 18th and 19th centuries, sea otters have started to recover from California to Alaska following active conservation efforts. In British Columbia, they have made a remarkable comeback since they were reintroduced. Today, scientists are still discovering the impacts of this charismatic animal on every part of their ecosystem.
Join award-winning author, conservation photographer and filmmaker Isabelle Groc for a fun storytime session where she will read from her latest book Sea Otters: A Survival Story and share photos from her time in sea otter country along the Pacific Coast.
