Delaware Bay Horseshoe Crab Tagging
2026 Volunteer Registration

Would you like to learn more about horseshoe crabs while helping to monitor them in their native habitats? Join us for horseshoe crab tagging along New Jersey’s Delaware Bayshore.

​Horseshoe crab tagging is a great way for volunteers of all ages to encounter these pre-historic looking creatures up close. No experience is required, Littoral Society staff will train all volunteers on site.

Tagging events will take place at the following beaches in South Jersey: Thompsons, Fortescue, Kimbles, Bay Point and Green Creek. 

Directions and details on what to wear and bring will be emailed a week before each event.

See you on the beach!
