Not only are river otters increadibly cute creatures, they are also crucial indicators of healthy, clean water! River otters are clear signs of waters free of pollution and other damages due to climate change. Friends of the Coates Bluff Trail are happy to see that the Bayou's waters are clean and healthy.
