Great photos and story of a wonderful annual migration and spawning of the beautiful shorebirds and horseshoe crabs and important Delaware Bay.
Horseshoe crabs need a long time to recover. Politics and fishing pressure continues to want to lift harvest numbers. Its important to make yourself heard on this issue. Comments are being received by the ASMFC by the end of July 2010. Visit www.delawareriverkeeper.org for more details of how to get involved to comment.
