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.   REGISTER HERE
