Description

Join us at our Summer Speaker Series for a Sea-Shanty-filled program showcasing the expertise of Mass Audubon Senior Coastal Ecologist, Dr. Sara Grady.

These prehistoric creatures play a crucial role in the coastal food web, supporting endangered migratory bird species. Their protection represents one of Mass Audubon's three spotlight advocacy issues. Dr. Grady will share, and sing!, the natural history and biology of horseshoe crabs, and their conservation & management.
