Free Wildlife Conservation Lecture: Horseshoe Crabs

Horseshoe Crab Tagging and Lecture 
Although usually overlooked, horseshoe crabs are one of the most remarkable creatures on our planet. Having changed little over the last 250 million years, these arthropods are frequent visitors to our shorelines. Come join Dr. Jennifer Mattei and Dr. Mark Beekey of Sacred Heart University as they teach you even more about these amazing creatures. The program will even conclude with a horseshoe crab tagging session out on the beach for those who are interested. Wear old sneakers or water shoes.
