File- A mother otter and her pup in Moss Landing
MOSS LANDING, Calif. (KION) A southern sea otter was found dead in an illegal fishing trap on Zmudowski State Beach in Moss Landing, and now state and federal agencies are trying to gather information as they investigate.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said the otter was found in the trap on April 18, and the agency said it looks as if the trap washed up on the beach after being placed in the water elsewhere. Investigators said it was a crayfish or baitfish trap that may have been used illegally in marine waters.
