Spring 2022 Horseshoe Crab Count

Horseshoe Crab Count May 17 2022
North West Creek, May 14th 2022 “Team Garno”

Every May kicks off the horseshoe mating season that lasts for roughly 2 months but is especially active during the May full moon. Trustees and other volunteers were out this week counting and tagging mating pairs. This was an especially robust count with many older horseshoe crabs returning with 2019 tags. Read more about this at the Cornell Cooperative.
