The talk will feature Dr. Larry Niles of the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ and Dr. Mandy Dey of the NJ Endangered Species Program. They have both worked closely with the Red Knot, and helped to make possible the highly acclaimed PBS Nature special, "Crash: A Tale of Two Species", which chronicles the tale of the Red Knot and the horseshoe crabs of the Delaware Bay.
