They are often seen to eat clams（蛤），which bury themselves in meadows of eelgrass （大叶藻场）,a wide-ranging plant species growing in water. Eelgrass meadows where sea otters dig for clams become partly bare, which is commonly a concern for ecologists.As it turns out, the meadows with otters are healthier, with more eelgrass, according to a new study published in Science. Thafs because by gently disturbing the seabed, the otters make the plants flower and produce seeds. What's more, their digging provides more space and sunlight for seeds to settle and grow. The enhanced genetic diversity caused by sea otters could make eelgrass more adaptable to present and future threats.The finding is a powerful example of how animals such as otters influence their ecosystems beyond predation （捕食）,often in unseen and little-known ways, says study leader Erin Foster, a research associate at the Hakai Institute. It also means sea otters, an endangered species, are vital to their environments and give eelgrass, which is in danger worldwide, a better chance at staying healthy and surviving.Seagrass habitats are also important for many fish, providing food for animals, absorbing, and filtering harmful pollution and bacteria from the water. HGenetic diversity typically strengthens the adaptability of species, and considering the challenges we're facing.this will be important for eelgrass meadows, and from this aspect, the impact the otters are having deserves our lasting concern/1 says Foster.8.
