Otter surveys were carried out to examine otter distribution, habitat use and population information in several defined areas of Counties Waterford, Cork & Kerry. Smaller-scale surveys and collection of incidental records were also carried out to gain further information on otter distribution.
Experienced members of the MISE team led trained volunteers on surveys to find and collect otter spraints in selected survey sites. Spraints collected were subjected to DNA testing to verify the identity of the species of origin.
