Q: Have you seen how many otters live in the Monterey Bay area?
A: Hundreds of them.
Q: Have you gone diving in the Monterey Bay area and seen the life that exists there?
A: The sea life is amazing.
Thus, I don't think a couple otter families are going to all of sudden devour all the urchin, abs, and starfish in SoCal.
And by the way, the area in discussion was the Channel Islands and the new MPA's not Catalina.
