Our research team can’t be everywhere at once so we want to engage with volunteers and communities to help map and learn about river otters. Please fill out the survey below if you've seen evidence or sightings of river otters in your area! If you are unsure, view our field guide to see examples of scat and footprints that otters leave behind. Thank you for your help!

If you have any questions about the survey, please reach out to SERCOutreach@si.edu.
