Trends in the abundance and distribution of sea otters (Enhydra lutris) in British Columbia updated with 2013 survey results .: Fs70-6/2015-043E-PDF
The results of the 2013 survey indicate that the sea otter population in BC continued to grow and its distribution continued to expand since previously surveyed, with sub-regional population growth patterns that are typical of recovering sea otter populations. Annual growth rates were much lower in long occupied sub-regions of Vancouver Island and the central mainland coast, than in more recently occupied sub-regions, presumably reflecting density dependence.
