American Horseshoe Crab Rescue Project

The American Horseshoe Crab Rescue Project is an initiative focused on protecting and rehabilitating horseshoe crabs, vital creatures in coastal ecosystems. These crabs are important because their blood is used in medical testing for bacteria detection, and they are a crucial food source for many shorebirds. The project involves rescuing stranded or injured horseshoe crabs, monitoring their populations, and promoting sustainable practices to ensure their survival. By doing so, the initiative helps maintain ecological balance and supports ongoing medical and environmental research efforts.
