Time comes for us all.
We found this dead horseshoe crab on the beach today. It had a numbered tag on its shell apparently put there by The Maryland Fish & Wildlife Conservation Office. I’ve seen many horseshoe crabs here over the years, but never one with a tag. I made sure to go to the website and log it.

They probably did that to try to learn more about their longevity and habits
