Great Lakes Marsh Monitoring Program

Through the efforts of many dedicated and skilled volunteers who survey amphibians, marsh birds, or both, the Marsh Monitoring Program (MMP) contributes to the conservation of wetlands and wetland dependent wildlife in the Great Lakes region. The MMP was established by Bird Studies Canada and Environment Canada in 1994 and is intended to run well beyond the year 2000. The program was designed to provide information on marsh bird and selected amphibian populations, and to contribute to our understanding of their habitat needs. Along with the essential role played by MMP volunteers, the program receives important support from Environment Canada, the U.S. Great Lakes Protection Fund, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the Great Lakes 2000 Cleanup Fund.
