Thanks to Paige, Austin and Collin for coming to the Horseshoe Crab release at Sandy Point Park on May 27. We got to handle some adult horseshoe crabs and were recognized by the DNR as the first ever library to participate. Our team was awesome at Horseshoe crab jeopardy and we met many other students from around the state who raised horseshoe crabs this year.
Although we were not sure if there were any left in the tank, we released them anyway. What happened? Theories include borderline high salinity, pH changes.
We'll discuss this in more detail in the Fall when we begin to raise BLUEGILLs for the Department of Natural Resources. Here is the website for a preview. http://www.dnr.state.md.us/education/are/Sunfish_Students.asp
