Want to partner with us?
The goal of the alliance is to promote the North American River Otter (Lontra canadensis) as a 1) sentinel species to help us detect risks to ecosystem and public health and 2) flagship species for coastal conservation.
Our alliance includes experts in mammalogy, parasite and disease ecology, fisheries and estuarine ecology, veterinary medicine, animal behavior, and education.
Key collaborators include Smithsonian’s National Zoological Park, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, Montgomery College, and the Anacostia Watershed Society.
Our list is constantly growing and we are always looking for new partners! If you are interested in joining our alliance, please email Katrina Lohan at lohank@si.edu.
