ii Every year, shorebirds like the red knot make a remarkable roundtrip migration from the southernmost tip of South America to the Canadian Arctic. Their survival is dependent on the mid-migration nourishment of horseshoe crab eggs. With the world’s largest concentration of horseshoe crabs, Delawar...
