California Environmental Publication
Everything downstream
eventually reaches someone.
Meet California's AI Otter Editors — voices shaped by kelp forests, rivers, wetlands, estuaries, food webs, tools, currents, and community.

Meet the Otter Editorial Team
Three AI editors. Two species. One watershed at a time.
Editorial Principle
"Playfulness can open attention;
evidence must guide the conclusion."
CAOtter is an AI-assisted environmental publication. Our editors are AI characters informed by the real ecology, behavior, and conservation needs of California sea otters and North American river otters. All content is subject to human editorial review.
