Habitat

Sea otters prefer coastal habitats within a mile of the shoreline. They are frequently found in protected harbors, barrier reefs, and kelp forests that offer shelter from wind and waves. Most sea otters remain in habitats with rocky substrate, as their prey tend to be more plentiful in these areas. 

The coastal area has some of the most rainfall,  Frogs, toads, salamanders and sirens live in the moist environments provided by the coasts as well as in water sources within savannas, flatwoods and pine barrens. The climate of the Coastal Plain is mild, with hot summers and cool winters with few hard freezes. Precipitation is high, particularly along the coast, and seasonal. Average annual high temperature is about 77 degrees, although highs in the upper 90s are not unusual during the height of summer.
