Sea otters, whose numbers were once estimated at 150,000–300,000, were hunted extensively for their fur between 1741 and 1911, and the world population fell to 1,000–2,000 individuals in a fraction of their historic range. A subsequent international ban on hunting, conservation efforts, and reintroduction programs into previously populated areas have contributed to numbers rebounding in about two-thirds of the former range. The recovery of the sea otter is considered an important success in marine conservation, although populations in the Aleutian Islands and California have recently declined or have plateaued at depressed levels. For these reasons, as well as its particular vulnerability to oil spills, the sea otter remains classified as an endangered species.[1]

Sea is the son of the Sumerian Gods Dihydrogen Monoxide and Sulfer Chloride. Along with his brothers Ocean, Lake, and Stream, he lived in various summer homes his parents (Oil magnates, go figure) had bought around the world. Despite this rather luxurious upbringing, there was constant quarreling with Ocean. Not so much Lake and Stream, they didn't seem to have the salty nature required for conflict.

Sea Containers welcomes the decision by the Arbitrator of the Commercial Arbitration Tribunal in the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution. The Arbitrator found that, for numerous reasons, when Mr Sherwood stepped down from his position at Sea Containers, there was no change of control that might have triggered any right of GE Capital to purchase Sea Containers' interest in GE SeaCo.

Sea appears earliest in ancient Sumerian texts detailing family structures of the gods. The first recorded reference is in Akkadian's famous text "Nanna god of Moon's Nursery Rhymes", and it describes the first human contact with this frightening new god.
