Sea Otters Infographic
Sea Otter Awareness Week celebrates one of the ocean's most beloved and ecologically important species (and the inspiration behind SeaPak's Otterford family). Sea otters are known for their playful personalities, but they are also vital to keeping our ecosystems in balance. Just as sea otters play a keystone role in regulating kelp forest health, careful Indigenous-led management can help wildlife populations and habitats thrive together.
"Beyond being adorable, sea otters are essential to the health of our oceans, preserving and restoring marine habitats," said Kelly Rabinowitz, Director Marketing, Frozen Retail Brands at Rich Products Corp., parent company of SeaPak. "We're proud to partner with Ocean Conservancy to protect marine life and raise awareness of the role sea otters play in maintaining balance in our seas."
A Shared Mission for Ocean Health
As one of the world's most respected environmental organizations, Ocean Conservancy unites science, people and policy to protect our ocean, today and for generations to come. For over 50 years, Ocean Conservancy has worked to reduce plastic pollution, safeguard vulnerable marine species, and support sustainable fisheries.
"Partnerships with companies like SeaPak enable us to extend our impact and inspire new audiences to take action for the world's oceans," said Chris Dorsett, Vice President of Conservation at Ocean Conservancy. "Every contribution, large or small, fuels programs that protect marine life and the communities that depend on marine life, from cleaning up beaches to saving keystone species like sea otters."
SeaPak and Ocean Conservancy: A History of Collaboration
This year's Sea Otter Awareness Week donation builds on a history of impactful partnerships between SeaPak and Ocean Conservancy:
Global Ghost Gear Initiative (GGGI): SeaPak and sister brand Morey's are proud to support GGGI to address the problem of abandoned, lost, or discarded fishing gear.
International Coastal Cleanup: SeaPak is an ongoing supporter of efforts to keep beaches and coastal communities plastic-free.
Why Oceans Need Our Help
The Ocean produces half the world's oxygen, absorbs 90% of excess heat, and supports billions of people and millions of species. But it faces mounting threats: 11 million metric tons of plastic enter oceans annually; 84% of the world's coral reefs have experienced bleaching-level heat stress; and countless species are at risk of habitat loss.

Sea otters, once nearly driven to extinction, represent both the fragility and resilience of the ocean. By protecting them and the ecosystems they sustain, we can safeguard biodiversity and contribute to the fight against the impacts of climate change.
How Consumers Can Join In
During Sea Otter Awareness Week, SeaPak is encouraging people to support Ocean Conservancy by making donations through the organization's website. Funds will support Ocean Conservancy's work to sustain marine ecosystems, protect sea otters, and advocate for stronger ocean protections worldwide.
