This grant supports critical ecological research focusing on amphibian and reptile populations at Fire Island National Seashore, Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, and Gateway National Recreation Area. Following Hurricane Sandy, the project involves two main parts. First, it encompasses a comprehensive inventory of amphibian and reptile species across all three parks, including developing sampling plans, conducting fieldwork, and submitting detailed data summaries and final reports. Second, it focuses on long-term monitoring of *Terrapene carolina* (box turtle) populations at William Floyd Estate (Fire Island NS) and Sagamore Hill NHS, utilizing radio-telemetry. This vital monitoring tracks population dynamics and recovery. The overall goal is to provide critical data for conservation efforts in these sensitive coastal environments post-hurricane.
