Horseshoe Crabs: A Story of Beach Trysts and Blue Bloods
|
Description:
Often misunderstood by casual beach goers and in high demand by the bait and biomedical industries, the horseshoe crab plays essential roles in both the natural world and world-wide modern medicine. Susie Bowman, Felix Neck Teacher/Naturalist and Coordinator of the Islands Spawning Horseshoe Crab Surveys, and Fred Hotchkiss, Director of the Marine Paleobiological Research Institute will present a lecture and slide show about these ancient marine residents of Marthas Vineyard. PLEASE step up and be a Citizen Science Volunteer to help count spawning horseshoe crabs on lunar high tides in May and June.
