2024 Delaware Bay Horseshoe Crab Tagging Registration is Now closed

Thanks for your interest in the horseshoe crab tagging program. We received an overwhelming response for participation in this year's program. 

Keep an eye on our emails and social media posts for opportunities to join us on horseshoe crab walks.

The American Littoral Society is looking for volunteers to participate in our horseshoe crab tagging program 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, beach captains will train all volunteers on site.

Tagging events will take place at either Fortescue in Cumberland County or Cooks Beach in Cape May County (separate registration is required for Shark River tagging events).

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

See you on the beach!
