Horseshoe Crabs with a shorebird

Cape Cod Horseshoe Crabs (CCHSC) will share with you information, actions, and more. CCHSC collects information from as many sources as possible in an effort to protect our horseshoe crabs against extinction.

The goal is simple.  Spread the word.

  • We will maintain the most up to date information on efforts to ensure that this prehistoric species does not disappear.
  • We will provide easy links for you to share your voice with the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries and other regulatory agencies.
  • We will share opportunities to volunteer in horseshoe crab counts and other efforts to protect horseshoe crabs.

CCHSC will work to spread the word about how you can help to protect the Atlantic Horseshoe Crab in Cape Cod’s waters. 



CCHSC is a volunteer organization created to share information and drive action to protect the Atlantic Horseshoe Crab. We will not ask for your money, only for your participation in ensuring that horseshoe crabs are around for many many generations to come.
