Life on Florida’s West Coast

Name Clearwater’s Otter

Now, here is a fun contest you can hardly resist. The Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Clearwater, Florida is asking people to submit a name for the female otter the aquarium staff rescued January 23 at the Clearwater Executive Golf Course.

When the otter was rescued, the abandoned youngster weighed only 1.5 pounds, and was lethargic and dehydrated. Her recovery has gone well and she has now gained almost 4 pounds.

The nonprofit marine animal rescue center is asking for a donation of $20 per name submission, with all monies going directly to care for their otter family. You can submit names until March 22. The winner will be invited to the aquarium for an official naming ceremony.

If you want to submit your idea for a name, just visit the aquarium’s site at www.SeeWinter.com.
