respond to Madalyn Rhoades:

One way I have contributed to the protection of a freshwater ecosystem was conducting salamander surveys in a variety of freshwater habitats over the summer. Salamander species are great environmental indicators and can provide a lot of helpful information on stream quality. These surveys are still being conducted at Jug Bay wetland sanctuary and are providing a lot of useful information about the streams which are actually about to be restored. When I am home, I try to go out and help with these surveys, and I wrote the protocol they are still using to do these surveys. I also am available to help with the identification of salamanders they find or any questions the volunteers have.
