have been
decreasing over many decades. These prehistoric wonders have roamed the ocean for 300 million years. They serve a critical role in the marine ecosystem, and scientists continue to make fascinating
discoveries
about them. Join Mystic Aquarium and Project Limulus during the spring and summer breeding season to tag individual
