Basically, sea otters are much larger than river otters and have more specialized habitat requirements. The Alaska Department of Fish & Game have good fact sheets on both species. They can be accessed at: http://www.adfg.state.ak.us/pubs/notebook/marine/seaotter.php and http://www.adfg.state.ak.us/pubs/notebook/furbear/rvrotter.php
