SUMMARY:Horseshoe Crab Community Science Program – Project Limulus
DESCRIPTION:Select morning and evenings during the May\, June & July full and new moon high tides \nAges 12+ (Registration required) \nJoin us for our 20th year participating in Project Limulus\, a scientific survey tracking horseshoe crab populations. Volunteers will walk two miles along the Napatree Point Conservation Area during the May and June full and new moon high tides—prime spawning time for these ancient creatures. The survey takes 1-4 hours\, depending on horseshoe crab activity (anywhere from zero to a thousand crabs might be encountered). While all are welcome to participate in this important conservation effort\, participants should be prepared for the physical demands of the survey. Experience these “living fossils” up close while contributing valuable data to this long-term research program. \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n
