I've contacted Steve Shannon's office, hope others have taken similar steps
with their delegate, if on Rich's list.
If you are interested in some background on horseshoe crabs and the threats
to them (and the Red Knot), I found this to be a good Web site:
http://www.horseshoecrab.org/con/con.html
This site gives insight into what the eel and conch fishing industries are
doing on their own to reduce their usage of horseshoe crabs, which are
probably what is being presented as counter arguments to HB 435. FYI.
