Description

The California Coastal Conservancy and the Department of Fish and Wildlife will each be allocated 50% of the contributions.

The California Coastal Conservancy will use the contributions for research and programs related to the near-shore ecosystem, including sea otters. The Department of Fish and Wildlife will use the contributions to establish a sea otter fund within the department's index coding system for increased investigation, prevention, and enforcement action.

Visit the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or the California Coastal Conservancy for more information.
