The Coalition celebrates National Estuaries Week, 9/21-9/28/24, which provide protection & necessary resources for many horseshoe crab life stages.
They provide nurseries for larvae & small juveniles & feeding grounds for adults during spawning season.
#NationalEstuariesWeek
Efforts are underway to improve habitat for horseshoe crab spawning habitat along Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge's Wildlife Drive in Galloway, New Jersey.
The sand added to expand spawning areas will benefit migrating shorebirds that feed on horseshoe crab eggs.
I am recruiting a Master's student to study soil science at the University of Maine; please see linked pdf for details on how to apply! https://t.co/RzAmDpcHTP
