Contributions will be used to help California sea otters survive in California's ocean waters. The Department of Fish and Game will use part of the fund to combat sea otter killings, and the California Coastal Conservancy will use part of the fund to improve the health of the otters' natural environment.

For more information about the California Sea Otter Fund, contact Nadine Hitchcock at nhitchcock@scc.ca.gov. Information about the Coastal Conservancy and the Department of Fish & Game can be found at www.coastalconservancy.ca.gov and www.dfg.ca.gov.
