	History of the Sea Otter
		Native Americans on the Pacific coast hunted sea otters throughout their range, but the abundant populations encountered by early Russian hunters indicate that otters were not widely overhunted before contact with Europeans.
		At present, abundance of sea otters in some oiled areas of Prince William Sound remains below pre-spill estimates, and evidence from ongoing studies suggest that sea otters and the nearshore ecosystem have not fully recovered from the spill.
		Recent precipitous declines in sea otter populations in southwest Alaska, from Kodiak Island to the western Aleutian Islands, constitute the most significant conservation issue for northern sea otters since commercial fur trades.
