Wandering Fossils: The Story of the Horseshoe Crab

Date: Friday May 23rd, 2025

Join Peconic Baykeeper for the New Suffolk Waterfront Fund’s Talk Series!

Step into the world of one of Earth’s oldest survivors. This talk explores the incredible natural history of the horseshoe crab—a creature that has roamed our shores for over 450 million years. Together, we’ll uncover their vital role in coastal ecosystems, their surprising connection to human health, and the growing conservation challenges they face today. We’ll highlight Peconic Baykeeper’s current work in horseshoe crab monitoring and learn why protecting these ancient wanderers matters now more than ever.

May 23rd 9:00am at the Minnow at the Galley Ho Cafe.
