Green Eggs & Sand - 2004
This year's Green Eggs & Sand in New Jersey was a great success, and we are already getting requests for next year! (Tentatively scheduled for the first Friday in May, 2005)
Here are some of the highlights from 2004.

Dr. Carl Shuster shows off part of his extensive collection of horseshoe crab artwork. 

 Dr. Shuster (College of William and Mary) and Bruce Freeman (NJDEP) explain fisheries resources in New Jersey and the impact of horseshoe crab harvesting.
