Sea otter mothers are devoted to their pups. They spend their days floating on their back with the pup on top, holding hands, grooming them…they teach them how to swim, dive, forage, and care for their dense fur. Sea otters, found in the Pacific Ocean, are exclusively aquatic and considered a keystone species…their presence is a must to maintain a healthy balance in the kelp forest ecosystems. Without them, the sea urchins decimate the kelp as was found in Vancouver after they were hunted to extinction. In 1969, Alaska sent 89 sea otters to the Province to help restore the balance and today the kelp forest is thriving. This mother and pup were floating in the Goleta’s Channel of the North Pacific Ocean, off of North Vancouver Island.

Artist Info
Jill Elizabeth “JBeth” has spent over 30 years watching transient moments with her mind’s eye and capturing each with her camera. Having lived in the Pacific Northwest most of her life, Jill is naturally drawn to wildlife, nature, and indigenous culture. Her desire for a strong ecosystem and biodiversity to thrive for future generations motivates her to capture and share her experiences from highly remote areas, oftentimes accessible only by boat and guide. From water to sky, sunrise to well past sunset, Jill’s skill at capturing the fleeting moment is so dramatic that one often feels as if they have been transported to the moment alongside her.
