Join the Fun - Project Limulus

Project Limulus is a horseshoe crab research project that relies heavily on data gathered from physically tagging and recapturing animals. The project leaders at Sacred Heart University rely on volunteers - citizen scientists - to conduct the surveys and tag the horseshoe crabs.

The survey is a fun activity for young and old alike. See for yourself in this video by Jim Murtagh.

Menunkatuck volunteers survey one of the  Guilford beaches. Volunteers from other organizations cover  New Haven and Branford beaches. Other beaches in West Haven, East Haven, and all of Connecticut's shoreline towns from Madison to Stonington need to be surveyed.
