Bklink: Island Killing Horseshoe Crabs

June 24th, 2008 · 1 Comment

link-asterisk.jpg“Mau Mau/White Island is surrounded by hundred if not thousands of black sand bags which are holding the entire island together. Most of these bags are completely worn out from weather, tides and time. Over the last few years, these bags have been killing horseshoe crabs. You can see from the pictures (above and below) that the crabs are coming up to the shore line and getting tangled in the fibers of the broken bags. Killing them.”–GerritsenBeach.Net
