It’s insane to think how much Rosa has done for the world. She not only raised over a dozen otter pups that helped sea otter populations in the wild, but she also inspired thousands of people to donate OVER A MILLION dollars to wildlife conservation, rest in peace Queen o7

"You die twice. Once when you are gone, and again when you are forgotten. " Rosa could have faded in obscurity, only noted by marine historians for her longevity. Dougdoug, and the community he walks with, turned her into a symbol. Recognized and expanded her legacy far beyond its reach to become one of the most impactful animals on the planet. All done through sheer grassroot support. Rosa has become more than an icon. She is a martyr. Her passing only fuels the fire and proves we can come together to make waves. Thank you Rosa. Thank you DougDoug. And thank you to everyone who participated, donated, watched, played, and created. You all make this community a haven for the believers, and a beacon of hope that a better world is possible when we come together, and that even an adorable sea cat can make a difference. Love you all. Love you Doug Wreden. Love you Rosa. Long live the queen.

We love you Rosa but goddamn you DougDoug. You made it fun to love wildlife for so many who may not have or not known how to express it. DouSoug and Rosa are my heroes.

Rest in peace Rosa. You weren’t good. You weren’t great. You were the best. But I cannot wait to see next year’s charity for the bone worms! I’ve already started collecting bones for them!

I truly can not believe how much Doug Doug, his community and Rosa have accomplished. Over a million dollars in donating! The fact that this all started because doug saw that it was this random otters birthday on the otter cam and over the span of 5 years raised a million dollars for their birthday is fascinating. You have done a lot doug, thank you.

Rosa did lots of good stuff for the world. She helped conservation efforts, helped research efforts, and brought a whole lot of joy into the world. And we got to not only watch her do it, but we got to help her do it. That's an awesome thing we should never forget. o7, Rosa. We will all miss you.

Really happy to see how well the campaign did. I lived out in monterey for about a year and the aquarium was a great spot to visit. Their conservation work is really important and it's cool to see a grassroots campaign make such a difference

Two fantastic days of streams filled with literal laughter, tears, and everything in-between! This whole Rosa thing was only meant to be a 5min joke during a stream years ago, yet here we are! I'm incredibly proud to say I'm part of this silly little community. We may act like a$$hats sometimes, but when it matters we come together. Thank you for making this happen, Doug <3 You've given Rosa the legacy she deserves

WE RAISED $625,375.68 FOR ROSA AND MONTEREY BAY AQUARIUM THIS WEEKEND HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
That puts us at over $1,000,000 total over the past 6 years of celebrating Rosa’s birthday. She may have passed but that’s a crazy huge amount of support to honor Rosa and support ocean conservation, thank you all so so so much. I think Rosa would be really proud of us, if she spoke english
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROSA REST IN PEACE o7
