DIAS CREEK — Ever tagged a horseshoe crab? Do you want to tag some and get wet doing it?
Here’s your opportunity, Cape May National Wildlife Refuge is looking for volunteers.
Refuge volunteers will be tagging horseshoe crabs on Wed., May 18 at 8 p.m. and Tue. May 31 at 8:30 p.m. (due to the time of sunset).
This effort provides valuable information on horseshoe crab spawning. Meet at the end of Kimbles Beach Road at Delaware Bay.
The group will go over the tagging process and then begin tagging after the shorebirds have left the area. Each crab will be sexed, tagged, and released. Volunteers usually tag for two to three hours.
It will be dark when tagging takes place, so taggers are asked to bring a headlamp or flashlight, wear shoes and pants that can get wet, waterproof shoes and pants and bug repellent to be prepared for gnats and mosquitoes.
