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 the following beaches in South Jersey: Cooks, Fortescue, Reeds, or Thompsons. (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!
