Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Monitoring: Otter in the Afon Teifi Catchment Area (2004)

  • English
  • wel
  • All

This dataset was commissioned by the Countryside Council for Wales (Aberystwyth) to investigate the current and potential breeding success of the otter (Lutra lutra) in the Afon Teifi Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and catchment; report on the present condition and conservation status of the species; define conservation objectives; and to design an efficient monitoring methodology for future reporting. The aims of the project are: a) To report on the current and potential distribution and breeding success of the otter in the Afon Teifi cSAC and catchment; b) To produce conservation objectives using data obtained from the project; c) To design an efficient monitoring methodology for future reporting.

Lineage

An assessment of the current distribution of otters within the Teifi catchment is based mainly on the results of the latest Otter Survey of Wales (2004) with additional information from otter sightings and road casualty records. The methodology for this study is based on work carried out for the European Commission's Life Nature Programme, to investigate the ecological requirements for otter breeding. Information on otter breeding activity is derived from otter road deaths, and from reports of otter cub sightings (collected during visits to householders living close to watercourses). Possible and potential breeding sites were identified from Phase 1 maps, and by walk-over surveys of all possible sites to confirm breeding site potential. A similar method was used to locate potential amphibian feeding sites for otters. To provide an overview of the distribution and juxtaposition of sites (sightings; breeding and feeding sites) rivers are divided into kilometre lengths and each site assigned to the relevant kilometre.
