Horseshoe Crab Monitoring
We are seeking volunteers for Horseshoe Crab Monitoring at West Creek in Cutchogue and South Harbor Beach in Southold.
“If you participate in this educational survey you will be helping collect data on horseshoe crab spawning abundance, size, sex and tag returns around full and new moon evenings from May to July. Trained site coordinators will be present to educate and teach you about the survey.”
