Ever wonder how Fortescue got its name? This tiny Delaware Bay fishing village was named for John Fortescue, who owned the land before the American Revolution. It later became famous as the “Weakfish Capital of the World!”

Delaware Bay shorebirds have left for their Arctic breeding home in good condition. Horseshoe crabs are still breeding in good numbers, while early eggs are starting to hatch

Horseshoe crab season is nearly here! Join us on the Delaware Bay to tag these living fossils. Your help provides vital data to protect the crabs and the shorebirds, like Red Knots, that depend on them.

This was Sunday evening at Sunset Beach in Cape May, NJ. It was brutally cold. It's been 7 or 8 years since it was cold enough for ice on the bay and out to the SS Atlantus.
