The only way this quest could be more adorable is if they actually followed you around with the little hearts around their heads after you fed them.
The otters are friendly and will not aggro. Beware of hostile [npc=63375]s swimming near the sea floor. You can generally avoid them by feeding the otters on the water's surface.
Also, I cannot even fathom how adorable these otters are. They're so happy!

What to do
Description
You know what happened to the bait in those pots? Otters. That's what happened. They prefer fresh clams, but they'll pick our crab traps clean if they're hungry enough. The otters in Lonesome Cove are protected by law and we run a legitimate operation here. As much as I'd love to chum those little rats and call it a day, we just make sure they aren't hungry enough to raid the crab pots. Toss 'em a few clams to keep them busy while you're out there.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fresh Pots
We got a load of empty crab pots out there that need fresh bait. Now, we COULD pull them one at a time and bait them up here in comfort. A nice chair to sit on, maybe a hot cup of tea to keep you warm. Sounds nice, doesn't it? Never gonna happen.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Meet the Cap'n
Alright, <name>, I got another job for ya. You see that lion seal in the pen over there? Name's Dog. He's been Soggy's pet for years. Dog's acting up lately - I think he's getting restless in that pen. Why don't you go talk to Soggy and let him know.
