This is a story that makes me mad and yet fills me with hope.

The Johor Straits Singapore is one of the homes of the Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda species of horseshoe crabs that inhabit that part of the world.

Carcinoscorpius Rotundicauda are horseshoe crabs that can be found in the indo/west pacific waters and are getting dangerously close to extinction.

The part that makes me mad is that fishermen are using mono-filament nets on these shores and are leaving them unmanned.  The horseshoe crabs and other wildlife get caught in the nets and when the tide goes out are stranded on land where the heat quickly kills them.
