Join our Tiana Bayside Horseshoe Crab Monitoring Site Coordinator, Danielle Morris, for an interactive and hands-on talk. Learn about the biology, importance, and conservation of horseshoe crabs, hold live animals, view equipment, and then follow the monitoring team out to the marsh to observe or join in collecting data.

Monitoring begins promptly at 7:30pm. Register separately for same-night monitoring HERE.

Children, accompanied by an adult, are welcome to attend the talk and observe the monitoring immediately following the presentation.

Must be 14 or older to participate in the monitoring.

Volunteers under 18 should have a parent or guardian present during monitoring.

Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Marine Program and Stony Brook University are working with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to coordinate and implement this project.

The intent of this network is to encourage participants to get involved with our annual horseshoe crab monitoring program on various reference beaches throughout New York’s Marine District. Participants assist with the collection of scientific data that is used to assess the status of horseshoe crabs in NY State, and will help determine the management and conservation of this important species throughout the region.
