Help Count the Crabs!
Join us at Slaughter Beach!
We need your help to count horseshoe crabs.
These crabs look like little helmets. They come to the beach at night.
Bring your family this Friday. We will meet by the water.
Please bring a bright flashlight. Wear your rain boots.
We will have fun counting together. See you at the beach!
