Bill_Signing_Ceremony

On Tuesday, March 25, Governor Jon Corzine signed legislation establishing a moratorium on harvesting horseshoe crabs in New Jersey. The new law protects the red knot from extinction by banning the harvest of horseshoe crabs which lay eggs that are consumed by the red knot on its annual migration to the Canadian Arctic.
