	note = {This report is the product of a National Science Foundation grant designed to encourage interdisciplinary studies among graduate students.  The authors assess various locations on the Oregon Coast for suitable sites for reintroducing sea otters.  An earlier attempt to reintroduce sea otters from Alaska to Oregon failed, perhaps because the historic Oregon population was more closely related to California sea otters than to the Alaskan otters.  Public opinion, possible conflicts and habitat suitability are considered.},

	title = {An Ecological Assessment of a Potential Sea Otter (<i>Enhydra lutris</i>) Reintroduction to the Oregon Coast},
	year = {2019},
	note = {This Master{\textquoteright}s thesis was written to address the concerns of groups working to bring sea otters back to Oregon.  {\textquotedblleft}Managers seek improved understanding of the potential for coastal habitats to support sea otter populations, factors likely to affect reintroduction success, and how sea otters may change nearshore ecosystems if brought back. These uncertainties were addressed by adapting and applying a recently developed model of habitat-specific carrying capacity for southern sea otters to estimate spatial variation in potential sea otter abundance (at equilibrium) in Oregon. These predictions were spatially related to human activities to investigate potential human interactions{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)  The major professor was Leigh G. Torres.  },
