Description
Rescue crabs while star gazing. Horseshoe crabs frequently are stranded on their backs by rough waters or hazards during their high tide spawning and they need a little help to get back on their feet. Join us for a Beach Walk at Thompsan's Beach to help turn over the crabs while learning more about these unique creatures. reTURN the Favor is a collaborative effort that enables organized volunteer groups to save horseshoe crabs stranded on New Jersey?s seasonally closed and open beaches. Great for all ages. Service learning credit available. Please be sure to dress for the weather and wear footwear that can get wet. Also be sure to bring one headlamp or flashlight per person that either has a red light function or is covered with red film. Walk is expected to last approximately two hours. Please contact Arie Manchen at amanchen@manomet.org to register for this event.
