Fire Island National Seashore
Amphibians
 
Around 30 species of reptiles and amphibians live within or visit Fire Island National Seashore, from giant leatherback sea turtles to the secretive Fowler's toad.
 
Fowler’s toad (Bufo woodhousei fowleri) and the bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) are amphibian species identified on Fire Island. A greater number of species are found at the William Floyd Estate.

Did You Know?
Many boating accidents and drownings are alcohol-related. National Park Service rangers and other officers conduct safe boating checks and enforce boating under the influence (BUI) laws on the Great South Bay.
