Fact Sheet on Hudson River Frogs and Sediments Is Released
Northeast Region, April 26, 2004
Print Friendly Version
The Hudson River Natural Resource Trustees have released a fact sheet regarding the preliminary investigation of frogs and sediments being conducted as part of the Hudson River Natural Resource Damage Assessment. The Hudson River and its surrounding habitat support many species of amphibians, such as the wood frog and northern leopard frog. These species spend a large part of their lives in contact with potentially contaminated substances ? water, sediment, and soil ? and consume potentially contaminated prey. The trustees are investigating the feasibility of using amphibians for an injury determination study through a preliminary investigation focused on wood frogs and northern leopard frogs and the habitats in which they breed.

The fact sheet describing the preliminary investigation is posted on the Web site of the Hudson River Natural Resource Trustees.
