This publication takes a multidisciplinary approach to address conservation issues related to the marine otter (Lontra felina). The primary objective is to systematize various research efforts on this species, contributing to both the Peruvian and the Chilean otter action plan and the enhancement of conservation strategies for marine otters along its entire distribution. The authors share their accomplishments in conservation, ecology, and status in freshwater habitats, the effects of habitat fragmentation, interactions with human activities, and recommendations for the effective conservation of the species. This book is primarily directed at researchers, authorities, and individuals engaged in otter conservation efforts. Read this work here.
