vonBiela et al. 2015Most carbon in muscle of these fish derived from macro algae, in some locations up to 90%
Similar work demonstrates importance of kelp derived carbon in other nearshore taxa (invertebrates, fishes, birds, mammals) as well as export of kelp‐derived carbon to offshore food webs

Ecological Interactions: Nearshore Mixed Sediment Habitats
• Sheltered Shores• Macrophyte production (understory kelps and eel grass)
• Sediment excavations/disturbance• Altered abundance & size classes of infaunal bivalves
• Modified filtration rates
• Exposed Shores• Perhaps the most under‐studied of the sea otter habitats

Summary Ecological Interactions, SEAK• Current status of sea otters and nearshore marine ecosystems
are an artifact of human activities over 250 years• Direct effects of otter predation can include maintenance of
abundance, sizes, and biomass of prey• Indirect effects of reduced herbivory documented across many
habitats following the removal of sea urchins• Restoration of kelp forests & other
macrophytes have ecosystem level effects related to habitat and increased primary production
• Our understanding of long term direct & indirect effects of sea otterrecovery are still incomplete

Conclusions: Sea otter ecosystem effects vary between coastal habitatsKelp forests• primary productivity, species diversity,
enhanced nursery habitat for fish, shoreline stability, carbon fixation, etc.
Seagrass:• Sea otters reduce crab populations,
facilitating grazers in seagrass beds• Positive effects for eelgrass resilience.Salt marsh:• Sea otters reduce burrowing crabs,
healthier pickleweed• Appear to reduce bank erosion &
marsh loss (ms. in prep)
