What an odd study. Buoyancy is super important to sea otters, of course. One would think exposure to some super toxic hydrocarbons would be more of a concern. It kinda makes buoyancy a minor issue in comparison, on first thought.
I guess the study was pushing for a period of temporary captivity after the animal is cleaned? I am getting the feeling like I missed something big here.
