During the spring, horseshoe crabs congregate along Florida's shores to spawn. Each year, our biologists ask the public to report observations of horseshoe crab mating activities in order to help identify nesting beaches around the state. The public can the report their sightings via online survey: bit.ly/3bqvVTp

or email: horseshoe@MyFWC.com or phone: 866-252-9326.

Blue blood by FWC Fish and Wildlife Research Institute

Bonus fact: Horseshoe crabs are extremely important to the biomedical industry because of their unique, copper-based blue blood contains a substance called Limulus amebocyte lysate. The substance, which coagulates in the presence of small amounts of bacterial toxins, is used to test for sterility of medical equipment and virtually all intravenous drugs.
