The Delaware Bay is home to the largest population of horseshoe crabs in the world, and we need your help to monitor this vital species. ​

    volunteer Registration
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 Thompsons Beach 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.

Event Leader: Quinn Whitesall McHerron

See you on the beach!
