This is getting really bad. I watched a group of 4 kayakers go to a kelp bed with a 10-12 sea otters until the otters were forced to flee. Once the otters went to another kelp bed, they did the same thing! We need people in boats to protect them! @CaliforniaDFW @MontereyAq.

A daily phrase from me.
