Washington's sea otters were once a casualty of the fur trade. They had disappeared from the state until their reintroduction in the 1970s, and now occasionally make their way into Puget Sound. They are rarely seen here—most of the supposed sea otter sightings in Puget Sound turn out to be river otters on a salty detour—but one reliable place to find them is the Seattle Aquarium. I visited early Sunday morning at feeding time, where a young sea otter named Mishka called for her breakfast.

In the early days, the polluters were easier to spot. There were the usual suspects—industrial pipes pumped toxic chemicals into the water; dams blocked the way for salmon; natural resources were overharvested. Those problems still persist, but ecosystem management in Puget Sound has become increasingly complicated since the 1970s and 1980s.
