Incorporating social science and human dimensions into reintroducing sea otters on the West Coast

Establishing a roadmap for incorporating social science and human dimensions into potential sea otter reintroductions on the U.S. West Coast

At the request of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the California Ocean Science Trust developed this report to provide scientific guidance for incorporating social science and human dimensions into the consideration of potential sea otter reintroductions. This report represents the contributions from an interdisciplinary panel of social scientists (Social Science Panel) and key stakeholder groups in Oregon and California.
