Summary
This week, Ocean City offers a final chance to witness the awe-inspiring horseshoe crab spawning migration — ancient creatures that’ve survived 450 million years, now facing threats from heat, habitat loss, and medical harvesting. Males cling to females as they drag them ashore to lay thousands of eggs, a ritual that’s both prehistoric and fragile. While some crabs die trapped in canals, conservation efforts like harvest restrictions in Delaware Bay are showing promise, hinting at recovery. These resilient survivors may outlast us — a powerful reminder of nature’s endurance. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
