Every Spring, millions of unassuming Atlantic horseshoe crabs, driven by eons of evolution, make their way to the sandy beaches of the Delaware Bay to spawn. We’ll explore the ecological importance of horseshoe crabs and their connection to shorebird migration. Then we’ll discuss how the American Littoral Society monitors horseshoe crab populations and restores vulnerable coastal habitat.
This presentation will be by Michelle Rebilas, Director of Education for the American Littoral Society.

The meeting will start at 7PM on Oct. 1 in the Barnegat library (112 Burr St in Barnegat), with doors open at 6:30 for mingling. Join us. Everyone is welcome.
