Purpose

The Dragonfly Mercury Project (DMP) is a national scale study tying research on mercury (Hg) pollution risks to protected lands with citizen engagement and education. The program purpose is to: (1) Increase the understanding of Hg contamination in national parks across the United States using dragonfly larvae as biosentinels; (2) Engage citizen scientists in the collection of dragonfly larvae; and (3) Inform NPS policy and management decisions.
