The comeback of the Pacific sea otter, also known as the California sea otter, is a remarkable success story in wildlife conservation. Here's an overview of their population recovery:

Historical Decline: By the early 20th century, the Pacific sea otter population had been decimated due to extensive hunting for their dense, luxurious fur. It's estimated that before the fur trade began in the 18th century, their numbers were as high as 150,000 to 300,000 individuals. However, by the early 1900s, they were alarmingly reduced to as few as 1,000 to 2,000 individuals, primarily surviving in a single, isolated colony off the coast of Big Sur, California.

Protection and Recovery: The turning point for the sea otters came with legal protection. The sea otter was protected by the International Fur Seal Treaty of 1911, and later by the Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act in the United States. These protections, along with conservation efforts, allowed their numbers to gradually recover.

Current Population: As of my last update in April 2023, the population of the Pacific sea otter had grown significantly from its near-extinction numbers. The latest estimates suggested a population of around 3,000 individuals along the coast of California. While this is a substantial increase from their historical lows, it's important to note that they are still considered a threatened species under the U.S. Endangered Species Act and their population is a fraction of what it was before the fur trade.

The recovery of the Pacific sea otter population remains an ongoing conservation effort, as they still face threats from oil spills, pollution, habitat loss, and conflicts with fisheries. Their resurgence not only benefits the otters themselves but also has positive impacts on the coastal ecosystems where they live.
