" Reminds me of a YA sci-fi novel whose title I forget. The BIG One has finally hit, most of Cali has slid into the ocean, civilization's fallen, humanity's basically buggered, and there are only a few sea-bed cities left supporting humanity and technology. (Mostly clustered around what's left of the Baja peninsula - important plot point there.)
And then, these remaining humans discover that one of their supposedly-dead-in-the-Catastrophy scientists has gone and done the "unthinkable." Believing that humanity was screwed, they'd uplifted some otters. And the furry little buggers were a roaring success in the post-Apocalypse world.
But they had a mindset that was distinctly non-human. Good people, but not HUMAN people. Otter Sapiens thought well, but didn't think like us.
Interesting. Hope I can recall the title eventually, it was a fun read"
Could you find this for me?

I think it might be this one: The Demon Breed.
ETA: Actually, Follow The Whales fits the description better. It has Baja and multiple scientists whereas The Demon Breed has aliens and one scientist.

rarm is right. I'm sure this is the The Hydronauts trilogy by Carl Biemiller. The otters show up in the second and third books Follow the Whales and Escape From the Crater.
Old favorites of mine.

Ok, I knew of the Demon Breed, and what I knew did not fit exactly. I am going to order that anyway. So I want to get that trilogy too.
Thanks greatly, and more so if it really fits, which from your words is likely.
