This 18-minute video reviews the history (1995-2020) of the efforts by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission to manage the horseshoe crab population on Delaware Bay.

 

Initially extremely controversial, horseshoe crabs are now managed using a unique ecosystem approach, managing the crabs for shorebird needs as well as human use.
