Endangered Species Update Index

In December of 1996 the University of Michigan published a special issue of Endangered Species Update that was a collection of papers on sea otter biology, conservation, and management. This special issue was a compendium of our current knowledge. The major difference since 1996 is the downturn in the population trend.

Endangered Species Update has graciously given permission for us to reproduce the entire issue here. Endangered Species Update is a valuable resource for those interested in the recovery of threatened and endangered species worldwide.
