Volunteers for Trout Unlimited setting, baiting and checking traps to catch the invasive species African Clawed Frog. The invasive species American Bullfrog, not native to the Puget Sound region, is also trapped and euthanized. The frogs eat young Kokanee Salmon and the fry of other endangered Salmon species such as Chinook Salmon. The endangered local Orca Whale J, K and L pods are dependent upon Chinook salmon and other Puget Sound salmon for survival. At certain times of the year 100% of the local orca whale diet consists of Chinook Salmon. The euthanized African Clawed Frogs are frozen and turned over to the U S Geological Survey and University of Washington for study.
