VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY:
Help Count The Horseshoe Crabs at CHSP
 Volunteers are needed to assist in counting the Horseshoe Crab, a living fossil and Delaware's 'State Marine Animal' as it spawns along the Cape Henlopen shore in Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes. Since 1990, surveys have been conducted of horseshoe crabs spawning on key beaches in Delaware and in New Jersey.Surveys take place at night at high tide on the New and Full Moons in May and June during the Horseshoe Crab Mating Ritual, where thousands of horseshoe crabs descend on the shoreline to spawn.
The data collected during these surveys is key in monitoring changes in numbers of spawning crabs. This is a great way to experience Mother Nature's natural spectacle on the Delaware Bay! CLICK HERE to read more.
