In the Vendée region, the term "otter" primarily refers to the emblematic animal of the department's wetlands and, by extension, to the tourism and environmental label that highlights these ecosystems. The European otter is particularly prevalent in the Marais Poitevin (or Green Venice) and coastal wetlands, where it finds the rivers and canals necessary for its habitat. Its presence is an excellent indicator of the good water quality in the Vendée, where conservation efforts have enabled its reintroduction and prosperity. Hiking and canoeing trails, such as those in the Marais Poitevin Regional Natural Park, offer opportunities to indirectly observe signs of its presence. This discreet mammal has thus become a powerful symbol of biodiversity and the Vendée's commitment to environmental protection.
