Here are 3 links about the issue of frog mutations and some of the responses to
understand the issue.

This quote comes from the above article:
"We're going to involve the public as part of a larger solution," said Sam Droege,
a U.S. Geological Survey research biologist. He formerly directed an
8,000-volunteer network of bird-watchers and will oversee the froggers. "In no way
can we do it all ourselves."

This sounds like a step in the right direction. Maybe the fisheries people will
see the success of the birders and froggers and enlist our help, too. Would we be
fishers?
