CT DEEP Horseshoe Crab Protections

Thanks again to Brian Lockhart of the Connecticut Post for this great followup to the May 24th article about horseshoe crab protection along the Connecticut shoreline.

It seems that the City of Bridgeport was not aware of the laws that protect Connecticut shoreline wildlife.

“More specifically, according to Connecticut’s regulations, using motorized equipment to groom the sand, as was the case here, is prohibited from mid-May to mid-July specifically to help protect spawning horseshoe crabs.”
