Colder air blowing in from the sea to the land is called a "sea breeze".
Warm air moves from a beach toward the ocean by convection.
Sea otters do not have a blubber layer but rely on their thick fur to keep them warm. Their fur traps air bubbles to provide insulation, helping them stay warm in cold waters and also assisting in buoyancy to help them float.

Warm air holds more moisture than cold air. In warm weather, there is increased evaporation of sea water.
Maritime Equatorial Air Mass (mE) originate over warm sea water. Maritime Tropical (mT) also originates over the warm sea waters.
Air trapped in their fur keeps them warm
Cool air blows inland from over the water and moves underneath the warm air, causing a sea breeze.
It is an on-shore breeze.
A sea breeze occurs during the day when cooler air over the water moves inland to replace warmer air rising over the land. A land breeze occurs at night when cooler air over the land moves towards the warmer air over the water. This creates distinct temperature and pressure differences influencing the direction of the wind.
Warm sea air can provide a food source for various organisms such as phytoplankton, which use sunlight to convert its energy into food through photosynthesis. Zooplankton and other small marine animals feed on phytoplankton, forming the base of the marine food chain. Additionally, certain species of fish and seabirds rely on warm sea air for thermals that help them stay in flight for longer periods of time.
This process is known as a sea breeze. During the day, the land heats up faster than the water, causing the warm air over the land to rise and be replaced by cooler air from the water. This creates a breeze that flows from the water towards the land.
Colder air blowing in from the sea to the land is called a "sea breeze".
It refers to a gentle current of warm air in dry weather blowing from the sea and over the land
They curl up in a ball and sink to the bottom of the sea to keep warm. The sea bottom is really warm so that is what they do ! They do not do that because they must come to the surface for air!
