Horseshoe Crab Rescue

My love of horseshoe crabs and tidal ecosystems began as a child on Connecticut’s Thimble Islands.

Now, living on the edge of the Long Island Sound in Black Rock, their protection has become a center point; along with raising awareness about plastic pollution and conducting my own beach clean-ups at nearby Seaside Park. I also started a horseshoe crab rescue and education project but have recently teamed up with Project Limulus as a Citizen Volunteer and horseshoe crab tagger and tracker.

These passions also manifest themselves through my art practice at kHyaland, through special ongoing projects like “Toy Ocean: Out to Sea,” and in my professional work in sustainability.

This year, I’ve decided to formally document my work during spawning season along with other shoreline adventures and observations of this amazing habitat that needs our care.
