Help Monitor Delaware's Amphibians with DNREC's Division of Fish and Wildlife

Have an ear for frog calls, or even think you might? If so, the Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife’s Delaware Amphibian Monitoring Program (DAMP) needs you and other frog friendly volunteers to join in this exciting national citizen science program.

Learn the calls of 13 types of frogs and complete three surveys between late February and June on a survey route that is convenient for you. Routes are available in Sussex, Kent and New Castle counties. A pre-season meeting for volunteers will be held Monday, Jan. 30 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Aquatic Resources Education Center in Smyrna.

Delaware has a great diversity of frog species due to its overlap of northern and southern species’ ranges and this program offers a great opportunity to learn more about local nature and contribute to the understanding of frog distribution and populations.

The Division of Fish and Wildlife’s amphibian monitoring program is directly affiliated with the North American Amphibian Monitoring Program (NAAMP) and data collected is used both by Delaware biologists and NAAMP.

For more information on the program or directions to the meeting, please contact Annie Jacobs at the Aquatic Resources Education Center, (302) 653-2880 ext. 128, or annie.jacobs@state.de.us.
