7 Collecting local knowledge Outreach meetings Website Final meeting Semi-directed interviews Do you have information about the history of sea otters in our area? If so, we would like to interview you Current information on how the sea otter population has expanded in southern Southeast Alaska is limited to aerial surveys done in 1988, 23 and 21. These surveys only provide "snapshots in time" and don't necessarily cover the entire impacted area. In order to make predictions about how the otters will move in the future, we need to get more detailed information on how they have moved in the past. We are conducting 3-6 minute interviews with people that have long-term knowledge of areas that have been recolonized by sea otters. All information will be kept confidential Sunny Rice, Alaska Sea Grant Contact Sunny Rice or

25 Much information still needed! 1. Other roles of sea otters a. role in kelp forest ecosystem b. positive fishery impacts (ex. herring, rockfish, salmon) c. tourism 2. Are areas without otters suitable otter habitat? Where are they likely to expand? 3. Standing stock biomass of Dungeness crab in the region 4. Changes in fisheries e.g. compression of Dungeness fleet 5. Otter distribution and abundance pre-fur trade & shellfish distribution and abundance at that time
