Do otters live in near shore zones?

Yes, otters live in near shore zones. Nearshore environments refer to marine areas that are close to the shoreline and receive both terrestrial and marine influences. Otters are well-adapted to these environments and are found in various habitats within the near-shore zone, such as estuaries, coastal marshes, mangrove swamps, rocky shores, and kelp forests. They use the near shore zone for various purposes, including foraging for food, finding shelter, breeding, and resting.
