Looking forward: Evaluating management scenarios for an isolated amphibian population in a dynamic coastal environment

This research modelled a population viability analysis of a population of green and golden bell frogs that appear to be confined to one freshwater wetland that is hydraulically linked to a coastal estuary (ICOLL) that is deliberately opened to allow high water levels to drain to the ocean to avoid residential flooding. This destroys eggs and tadpoles. The study investigated a range of management scenarios under population viability modelling to determine (theoretically) which actions might preserve the population of the species into the future.
