I hope it will be protected.

But claim "extinct in five years" is several years old - possibly more than five years. 8-P

Unfortunately in a 5-4 vote NJ has also decided to allow the harvesting of 150,000 horseshoe crabs this year after the moratorium expired. This is terrible news for the Red Knot, a species already on the brink of extinction.

Please read the following and write to as many people as you can (legislative leaders, the governor, newspapers, etc), especially if you're from NJ, DE, or surrounding areas:

I think NJ has kept the ban in place one more year, pending the Govenor's signature.
