Horseshoe Crab Harvest Ban in May 2003 in Delaware Bay
- "Officials from Delaware and New Jersey have decided to close all horseshoe crab harvesting in the Delaware Bay between May 1 and June 7. The ruling is being hailed by conservationists for its potential to protect both a prehistoric creature - the horseshoe crab - and the birds that depend on it for their survival." - excerpt from Environmental News Service at http://ens-news.com/ens/mar2003/2003-03-03-09.asp#anchor6
