The purpose of this survey is to gather information on how important coastal areas in Britain (such as docks, rocky shores, estuaries) might be for otters. If you have seen an otter in a coastal or estuarine location anywhere in Britain we would be grateful if you could let us know.
Your time and help with this survey are very much appreciated.
Information that we need:
- Location: please try to as specific as possible, a grid reference is ideal but don’t worry if you cannot provide one.
- Date (day, month and year)
- Approximate time of day
- Details of what you saw. Please include as much information as possible. Did you see the otter on the beach, on rocky areas, or in the sea? How many otters did you observe? Have you seen them at this location before?
Please send any information to:
Dan Forman, Coastal Otters Project, Department of Biosciences, College of Science, Swansea University, Singleton Park, Swansea, SA2 8PP
Or email your sightings to: Otters@swansea.ac.uk
