>>3506Wow, this is really cool. Otterchat is really growing to encompass some cool ideas, and I think it's just super cool Seems like it works, as far as I can tell, although it might be cool if there could be some sort of a way to see what conservation each dot represents? I don't know how tough that would be though

The North East Otter Network is a group for otter enthusiasts and conservationists in north east England. We run a survey of our area every year at the end o f April using the Snapshot Survey method. We also collect road kill and other dead otters to send to the Cardiff University Otter Project for post mortem.

WWF-Hong Kong has launched an otter conservation project in Hong Kong, with a focus in the stronghold Mai Po Nature Reserve and Deep Bay wetlands. We are working with a multi-faceted approach to collect more scientific information about the population and spatial use of otters through collaboration, engagement and public education. Our works cover camera trapping, sign survey, genetic analyses, conservation dog trial, citizen science and a series of awareness-raising activities with various partners.

Added:>Upper Peninsula River Otter Project >We are using snow tracking, camera traps, and DNA from harvested otters to examine the connectivity of river otter populations in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We are also interested in how this connectivity affects the otter population size and distribution of disease particularly Toxoplasma gondii.
