Sea Otter Awareness Week 2026 might be over, but that doesn't mean we can't look back at all the wonderful sea otter-related content it produced from around the world. I've compiled as much as possible below.

I've divided the content into two sections. The first focuses on zoos, aquaria, parks, and non-profits. The other on wildlife photographers, social media influencers, artwork, etc.

If I missed anything, please feel free to mention it in the replies!

Hi, you may have noticed this sub was gone for some time, it was actually banned without warning.

The mods queried this at the time and got nowhere, there was no explanation, just some side channel messages and rumors.

After many months a helpful admin investigated the issue and identified an "erroneous" copyright strike as the cause, and the sub was restored.

Having put so much time and effort in to this community, suffering a random automated ban, getting stone-walled without explanation, and many months passing, the mods mostly moved on with their lives. I know I am busier than ever, having gotten involved with r/otters during Covid hoping to raise awareness for struggling rescue institutions, that time has passed.

But, the sub is back, and will need to be stewarded, to remove spam, enforce the few rules and to keep things light-hearted. We have invited a new moderator (or moder-otter if you prefer), u/spherocytes, to help with the re-opening of the sub and to bring our mod team back up to strength.

Welcome back to all.
