Party on the Beach! The Horseshoe Crab and Shorebird Connection

Every spring the Delaware Bay transforms from a quiet space to a raucous gathering as thousands of Horseshoe Crabs come ashore to lay their eggs, followed by shorebirds ready to join the party!  In this presentation, we’ll introduce the Horseshoe Crabs and shorebirds you can find along the beaches, and dive into why exactly these animals come together in a phenomenon only found in our backyard.

The Wetlands Institute strives to promote appreciation, understanding & stewardship of wetlands and coastal ecosystems through our programs in research, conservation, and education by:

• Teaching people of all ages the value of wetlands and coastal ecosystems for the survival of life on earth
• Conducting cutting-edge research regarding wetlands and coastal ecosystems
• Encouraging stewardship of these ecosystems worldwide
