#InOtterNews: A study @MontereyAq reviewed 100 yrs of kelp map data, revealing that where sea otters have thrived, kelp has too. Despite 7% overall decrease in kelp across CA, Central CA kelp has increased 58%! The biggest factor that drove kelp survival: #seaotter density. 🧵👇

Join me in signing this petition to urge the U.S. to take strong action on plastic at the Global Plastics Treaty coming later this month.
Around 12 million tons of plastic enter the ocean each year, and the problem is only getting worse. There is No Time to Waste - now is the time to urge the U.S. government to be leaders of the Global Plastics Treaty. @POTUS @StateDept Sign this petition: https://t.co/ZpBJOwheiM

Many thanks to @CAGovernor @GavinNewsom and @CalRecycle staff for issuing draft regulations to reduce single-use plastic packaging and foodware by holding producers responsible. It's huge milestone and something we must do on a national and global scale! #SB54 #PlasticPollution

This is such good news! Bringing wildlife back to help restore wetlands is an important way to support #NatureBasedSolutions to the #ClimateCrisis.
California just released 7 beavers into the wild for the first time in California in 75 years. Thanks to the leadership of tribal partners and years of preparation, we’re entering a new chapter of restoring California’s wildlife and critical habitats.

Breaking 🗞️: Proud to share our first release of beavers 🦫 into the wild in CA almost a century. Worth the watch📺👇🏼. Huge thx to tribes, NGOs and @CaliforniaDFW for this paradigm shifting partnership. #KeystoneSpeciesComeback
For the first time in nearly 75 years, CDFW released beavers into the wild in cooperation with local tribes. The new family group of beavers joins a single resident beaver with the ultimate objective of re-establishing a strong population.

Thank you, @AGRobBonta for recognizing the importance of joining forces on #OceanDayCA! We appreciate your fight to protect consumers, communities, and the ocean from harmful plastic pollution.
The Pacific Ocean is CA’s crown jewel—but it isn’t just beautiful to admire, it’s key to our environment, economy, & identity. On #OceanDayCA, and every day, I stand with those advocating on behalf of the ocean, and pledge to keep working to protect it for generations to come.

Thanks @AGRobBonta and staff for your leadership to enforce the California law requiring plastic grocery bags to be actually recyclable! You're holding manufacturers accountable for their marketing claims and ensuring #plasticpollution doesn't end up in our ocean or communities.
NEWS: we’re demanding that plastic bag manufacturers produce evidence that plastic bags are actually recyclable in CA. Most of us see the recycling symbol printed on plastic bags we get from the grocery store—but there’s a good chance these bags can’t actually be recycled in CA.

Ready for some juicy details about sea spiders? These peaceful pycnogonids employ their probing proboscis to pierce and pilfer their prey, slurping up the soft bodies of invertebrates like anemones and jellies. Eat your heart out, Dracula!
