Where are sea otters hunted?

Sea otters are currently not hunted commercially anywhere in the world. Hunting of sea otters was widespread in the 18th and 19th centuries, leading to a dramatic decline in their population. They were primarily hunted for their valuable fur, which was highly sought after in the fashion industry. However, international conservation efforts and legal protections have since been implemented to safeguard sea otters, and hunting them is now strictly prohibited.
