  <dc:description>&lt;html&gt;&lt;body&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Southeast Alaska (SE) stock of northern sea otters (&lt;i&gt;Enhydra lutris kenyoni&lt;/i&gt;) ranges from Cape Yakataga on the north to the Dixon Entrance on the south. During the maritime fur trade, sea otters were commercially harvested to near extinction in SE for their pelts and were presumed unlikely to naturally repopulate the region.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;</dc:description>
