#Update: FoA has petitioned the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to list the Atlantic horseshoe crab under the Endangered Species Act due to extreme exploitation, climate change and sea level changes: https://friendsofanimals.org/foa-presses-for-esa-protections-for-atlantic-horseshoe-crab-exploited-for-decades/
I’ve seen a mating pair of horseshoe crabs once on some beach of Cape Cod during the height of pandemic. They’re amazing animals! I hope they survive.
