✨💍 Just like #TaylorSwift & #TravisKelce making waves with their big engagement news, imagine the headline when sea otters finally make a comeback to Oregon’s coast. 🦦🌊

The @elakhaalliance.bsky.social is the sole entity dedicated to bringing #seaotters back to #Oregon!

Just me an all my new sailor friends!
It’s #FleetWeek in #Portland ⚓️, and the #USNavy reached out to the Elakha Alliance to learn more about our work 🦦

We welcomed 20 #Navy sailors for an exclusive BTS tour of the upcoming #PortlandAquarium by @mikebennettart.bsky.social, where the #ElakhaAlliance proudly serves as a nonprofit partner.

😱 Removing or weakening the Endangered Species Act (ESA) would be a serious threat to sea otters - and many other vulnerable species.

Trumps wants to end endangered-species habitat protection, putting spotted owl at renewed risk
At issue is a long-standing definition of “harm” in the Endangered Species Act.

Elakha Staff Chanel Hason & Jane Bacchieri were in #California earlier week.

They were able to soak in the bountiful magic of #MontereyBay’s marine ecosystem — from swaying #kelp forests dancing in the currents to the heart-melting sight of a #seaotter mom cuddling her fluffy pup on the surface. 🦦

🌊 Did you know? #Oregon is the only US state along the Pacific Coast that doesn't have a population of sea otters in its historical native range.

💬 It's time to ask: what would Oregon’s coast look like with #seaotters back?

One day 🤗!!
Sea otters are a living legacy of Oregon’s coast—a #keystonespecies that shaped marine ecosystems for 1,000s of years.

Restoring #seaotters means reviving our past & securing a more resilient future for our coastal waters. 🌊🦦
