Welcome Crab-ologists!

Simply put – this is a blog all about horseshoe crabs…everything you’d ever want to know or read.  The blog will include an eclectic array of data, information, research, fascinating people, fascinating facts, surveys, on-site observations, anatomy, people, perspectives, opinions, controversies, the movers and shakers, and all the stuff we’ve come to love (and come to know) about these sometimes enigmatic, yet always intriguing, creatures.  I’ve already had the pleasure of interviewing some of the leading figures in horseshoe crab research and horseshoe crab conservation - you’ll hear their voices in this blog.  I’ll provide you with some scientific explorations of horseshoe crab habitats and behaviors.  We’ll take a look at their ancestry and their future, as well as some of the inevitable controversies.  We’ll travel to magical places throughout the Delaware Bay, up and down the eastern seaboard, and around the world.  In short, no stone will be left unturned and no horseshoe crab will be left undiscovered.  I invite your comments, your ideas, your perspectives, your thoughts, your arguments, and your contributions to this blog.  I’d like to expand and enlarge the community of “crab-ologists” and share all the wonders of this ancient lifeform with a wide and varied audience.  Come join us for a magnificent and extraordinary journey!
