Headed to Trinidad for Labor Day weekend? Stop by Murphy’s Market to visit this otter by Annie Reid! H2Otter the Healer was inspired by Annie’s frequent sightings of the sleek creatures in rivers, estuaries, beaches and the pier in Trinidad. The North American River Otter depends on clean water and Annie’s wish for her otter is to “ make individuals and families aware of the local otters, the habitat they live in and the need for pollution-free water. With Otter Project awareness, the hope is viewers will protect this and other habitats and species.” To bid on this otter head to the link in our bio and click on the “ bid on an otter “ tab!
