The Oregon Coast Aquarium is honored to announce a new addition to its sea otter raft: Earle the southern sea otter pup.

Earle was found in May 2021 stranded at Asilomar State Beach in Pacific Grove, California. He was cold and lethargic, and after his mother could not be located he was taken to Monterey Bay Aquarium for treatment. Earle was determined to be about 3 weeks old, weighing about 6.5lbs. Earle was declared non-releasable, and in July of 2021, he was flown to the Oregon Coast Aquarium, where he joined the other members of the sea otter raft. He is named after Sylvia Earle, an oceanographer, scuba diver, and research scientist dedicated to conservation.
