In 1980s federal officials, moved sea otters to the San Nicholas Island in order to give them more range to live. If they were found in any other areas, they were captured and taken back to the island. Fishermen were quit pleased with the situation. But the otters did not stay at San Nicolas Island; it is not their natural habitat. As if fishermen were not a big enough problem, in the past hunters acquiring fur, targeted otters.
