Sea Otter With Crab

By Frances C. Natkong

I work for our local tribe although I don't speak for the tribe. I'd like to address the sea otter [photo]. The picture on this page of the otter eating dungeoness crab might be cute and all but they are cleaning out shorelines of our subsistence foods.

Already, they plus divers have cleaned out abalone, clams, cockles, sea urchins, watch. That crab it has could feed a person for two meals.

It's time to thin out the otter. They reproduce like rabbits and rats. STOP!!! I've heard of them right out front of Hydaburg. They ARE NOT endangered. Please. There must be a way.
