Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if there are any accessible guidelines or protocols in regard to monitoring of Eurasian otters through camera trapping?
Thanks for your advice!

Hi Naomi,
I'm not aware of any guidelines published, but we've got the smooth coated otter in our camera traps before, and I suggest you follow a stratified sampling approach. You can stratify habitats along streams and flowing water bodies and place camera traps along stream banks especially where there are reed beds etc.
