sequestration. >> with the carbon stuck in the mud. >> it doesn't get released back into the atmosphere and cause global warming and such a problem around the world. >> back to the binoculars. the volunteers on land and the scientists on the boat are monitoring the otters to record their activities, social behavior and habitat use. >> we are counting the sea otters and reporting on their behavior. for example, when i see one, i describe whether it is foraging, resting, grooming, traveling, interacting. >> it is much more important to look down at their social dynamics, especially if they are going to try to rescue them. >> the hope is they may help to restore the dying eelgrass there. >> we are looking for the same otter populations in the whole west coast. >> and that may benefit us all.
