CT Trails Day: Horseshoe Crab Walk
Saturday, June 01, 2024 from 06:00pm to 08:00pm
Connecticut Forest and Park Association
168 Circle Beach Road in Madison
Horseshoe crabs come ashore to breed during May and June high tides. As citizen scientists for Project Limulus we will count, measure and tag the crabs as part of a long-term study of horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus) population ecology. Learn about this living fossil’s important role in coastal ecology, and the valuable component of their blue blood that benefits human health. Be prepared to walk a mile along a rocky beach, and wade knee deep into the water. Sturdy waterproof footwear is recommended.
