Sea otters are apex predators that can exert considerable influence over the nearshore communities they occupy. Since facing near extinction in the early 1900s, sea otters are making a remarkable recovery in Southeast Alaska, particularly in Glacier Bay, the largest protected tidewater glacier fjord in the world. The expansion of sea otters across Glacier Bay offers both a challenge to monitoring and stewardship and an unprecedented opportunity to study the top-down effect of a novel apex predator across a diverse and productive ecosystem. Our goal was to integrate monitoring data across trophic levels, space, and time to quantify and map the predator-prey interaction between sea otters and butter clams (Saxidomus gigantea), one of the dominant large bivalves in Glacier Bay and a favored prey of sea otters. To do so, we developed a modeling framework to account for both bottom-up and top-down drivers of butter clam abundance and dynamics. For the bottom-up driver, we used the root-mean-square current speed ... : The archive 'current.zip' contains the current speed raster and was produced by Drew et al.
