Find A Tag??

We tag horseshoe crabs throughout NY, CT, RI, and MA with US Fish and Wildlife Service Federal disc tags (white circular tags, first photo).  If you find a horseshoe crab with a white disc please call 1-888-LIMULUS (1-888-546-8587) to report the tag number, location (specific beach), date you found the crab, and if the crab was alive or dead.  Please return live crabs to the water.  You can enter the information online at the USFWS website (Click Here) or enter the information in the Project Limulus database (Click here).
