Our first otter patient admitted in 2025, the young female from Homer, now has a name:
✨Meet Un’a! ✨
Un’a means “that out in the open water” in the language of the Alutiiq/Sugpiaq people. It’s a fitting name for this special pup who has shown strong resilience in her recovery!

Alaska SeaLife Center Has Another Rescued Admit!

❗New northern sea otter pup patient admitted ❗
Have you heard the news? There’s another adorable sea otter patient admitted to the ASLC Wildlife Response program! He was first spotted high up on the beach in Homer with no adult otters in sight. After a few hours alone, birds began to approach the vulnerable pup, and the team knew they needed to act. With authorization from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the ASLC Wildlife Response Team coordinated the pup’s safe transport to Seward for immediate care.
So far, the pup seems to be doing well, and our team is caring for him around the clock.
