Book excerpt: Life Along the Delaware Bay focuses on the area as an ecosystem, the horseshoe crab as a keystone species within that system, and the crucial role that the bay plays in the migratory ecology of shorebirds.

Over three hundred stunning color photographs and maps capture the beauty and majesty of this unique treasure, one that must be protected for generations to come.
