Kootenay Otter Ecology Project

Kootenay Otter Ecology Project “All have their worth and each contributes to the worth of the otters.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, Revised

We are a collaborative research initiative striving to learn about local river otter ecology to enhance our understanding of their status. Within the Kootenays most of our major water systems are heavily impacted by a myriad of dams and valuable riparian systems have been impacted through resource extraction, industry, agriculture and development. River otters are an important link between the aqu

atic and terrestrial, they have been coined an "indicator" species for the health of aquatic ecosystems. However, they also depend on riparian habitat for denning, cover and resting.

Check out this video...Frontier is a great organization I visited in December. They have an amazing continuous Neotropical river otter study near their camp on the Osa peninsula in Costa Rica. We went out on the river for some ottering (survey) and got very excited with each s**t found!
They are a great bunch of volunteers from all over the world headed by a group of researchers with lead researcher Nathan Roberts. Not only does The Frontier set up in Costa Rica study Neotropical river otters, they also work with a plethora of other critters; jaguars, butterflies, birds, sea turtles, spider monkeys, and more
