I'm not a naturalist. All I know about sea otters and their range
is from:

http://www.state.ak.us/local/akpages/FISH.GAME/notebook/marine/seaotter.htm

Apparently, according to:

http://www.otterproject.org/na_soseaotter.html

it's not unusual for freshwater otters in Europe to live along the
ocean beaches. But they're not sea otters, per se, just regular
otters with a taste for seawater.
