Horseshoe Crab Tagging Resumes in Shark River

4/26/2017

 
Picture
Horseshoe crab tagging will resume in the Shark River estuary on Tuesday, May 23 with a training/tagging event starting at the L Street Beach in Belmar, NJ. Volunteers can participate in tagging and monitoring events through June 23. Data from the work is provided to the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

Tagging and monitoring crabs helps provide information on population trends and crab movement, which provides a small window into the health of an important and ancient species. The spawning season of the Horseshoe Crab is the only time they come ashore and the season is just a few short weeks in May and June.

Help Us Prevent a Coastal Catastrophe

4/7/2017

 
Picture
The federal budget proposal from the Trump administration will be disastrous for the coastal environment and ocean dependent economy in the United States. Funding cuts across a swath of public service agencies would kill jobs, harm the economy, and make even going to the beach a risky activity. 
 
Documents outlining the 2018 federal budget show that the plan is to cut every single federal program that helps to protect, manage, and improve our coastal and estuarine areas 
—  and your quality of life. If carried out, these programs — which protect the environment and millions of jobs — will be eliminated or have their funding cut so severely they will be rendered ineffective.
 
You can help turn this around!
 
How? Here are two ways.
 
1) Please contact your elected federal officials and tell them you oppose this assault on environmental protection.  
 
Find your Representatives and Senators, along with their office numbers, here.
 
It is best to call both the local district and Washington DC offices.
 
2) Please help support the American Littoral Society so we can continue to protect the coast for you and future generations, and are able to speak out on behalf of the coast and you on issues like this.
