Otters as Bioindicators of Estuarine Health

The Bullock Brothers are one of the lesser known permaculture projects in the PNW but they are somewhat locally famous.

Looking at their history page a while back, I noted that one of the first big milestones they brag about was the return of otters to their waterfront on Puget Sound.

This article makes me wonder why I don't see more otters in the wild. There are creeks and streams here but I've rarely seen otters.

One of my favorite groups I ever worked with is Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON) which conducts international team science to advance our understanding of lakes and their benefits in a changing environment.

Super fun group to be around and such an important corpus of research. The yearly all hands are always at research locations and have ample outdoor time.
