What we did was conducted field work at a place called DNS (Durango Nature Studies). The field work mainly consisted of catching any frogs that we could analyze the area for signs of other animals in the area catching macroinvertabrates in the river and in the pond and finally testing the water to see if it was polluted and also to find out if there was a chance of an algal bloom which if the pond has to many phosphates the algal bloom will happen and destroy the pond with algae we made the tests also check if there was coliform which is different from chloroform in that coliform can hurt frogs and make them have deformities. We collected the data of the macroinvertabrates and got
