Citizen Science: Horseshoe Crab Tagging Project

Saturdays June 2 and June 23, 1:00 – 2:30 p.m.

On rising tides in May and June, horseshoe crabs visit our beaches to lay eggs. Shorebirds, traveling north toCanada, time their arrival to take advantage of this rich food source. Researchers trying to understand and protect these living fossils need your help! Delve into the incredible world of the horseshoe crab, while  helping to tag and release these amazing creatures. Bring water shoes, a water bottle, and a towel. Sign up early.
