It's Spring again! The time when one's thoughts turn to .... horseshoe crabs! Beginning on April 26th we will again be counting and tagging spawning horseshoe crabs on the Guilford beaches. This is part of an ongoing study being conducted by Sacred Heart University to assess the health and stability of the horseshoe crab population in Long Island Sound.
We are looking for volunteers, also known as citizen scientists, to help with this study. You don't have to make a commitment; it doesn't have to involve a lot of time. It's easy! We'll show you what to do. All ages are welcome. Come have fun with us on the beach and get up close and personal with a living fossil; the horseshoe crab.
If you would like to volunteer or if you have any questions, please contact Judy Knowles at 203-453-9053 or e-mail me at judy@menunkatuck.org. For more information about Project Limulus go to www.projectlimulus.org
