There is a study being commissioned to determine the feasibility of returning Otter's to PEI waterways. Otters were on PEI back in the pioneer days, but there were trapped to the point of extirpation around the Island.

Otters could be reintroduced to Prince Edward Island if a Holland College study shows the move would make sense.

The P.E.I. Trappers Association and the P.E.I. Wildlife Federation have commissioned a study to look at the idea's feasibility.

A researcher from Holland College is looking at similar cases throughout North America, while weighing pros and cons such as cost and the opinions of Islanders.
