	the delaware estuary: oyster history
		In the Delaware Bay, there is about 25 miles of seed bed bottom located from just south of Artificial Island to the mouth of the Delaware Bay on both the NJ and DE sides.
		On the Delaware Bay, oysters were traditionally dredged from seed beds in the spring (May and June) under sail and planted on the lower beds and harvested under power (September-January) to grow to market-size (3" is the legal minimim).
		Oyster dredging in the Delaware Bay is done on public seed beds and on private harvest beds leased from the respective states (in contrast, almost all oystering in the Maryland portion of the Chesapeake Bay is done on public grounds).

	Delaware Bay Crossing (unbuilt)
		Soon after the Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA) was formed in 1963, engineers commissioned by the New Jersey State Highway Department presented their study for a proposed seven-mile-long bridge between Woodland Beach (Sussex County), Delaware and Sea Breeze (Cumberland County), New Jersey.
		The Woodland Beach-Sea Breeze route was to be roughly parallel to the car float route, which connected the New Jersey Southern Railroad in Bay Side with the Smyrna and Delaware Bay Railroad in Woodland Beach.
		A subsequent DRBA study in 1980 found that a new Delaware Bay bridge was not needed until at least 2000.

		"Delaware Bay is the world's population center for horseshoe crabs, but during the past few years, we've noted a significant downturn in the animal's population, from 1.2 million spawning females down to about 400,000," Hall says.
		In Sea Grant research, University of Delaware marine biologist Nancy Targett is developing an artificial bait that chemically mimics the horseshoe crab to reduce the crab's use as eel and whelk bait.

		The Dutch claimed the entire Delaware Valley as part of New Netherland and Governor Kieft protested vigorously at the time the Swedes made their settlement; but Sweden was too powerful a nation at that time to be defied, and the colony was left for the time unmolested.

		With help from Delaware Bay watermen, over 17,000 horseshoe crabs were tagged before and during this year’s spawning run.
		Besides being considered "living fossils," horseshoe crabs are of special interest because their eggs, billions of which are laid each spring on protected sandy shores like Delaware Bay, provide vital nourishment for hundreds of thousands of migrating shorebirds.
		Inconclusive evidence suggests that horseshoe crabs are being over-fished and are in decline in Delaware Bay.

	CROWN LANDING: WHAT TO CONSIDER
		The document states that it would take about 5.5 hours for a vessel to transit up the Delaware Bay and River to the proposed terminal, and concludes that there will be minimal impact on shipping and boating in the immediate vicinity of the terminal because the Delaware is wide.
		Also, it is noted that the Bay is wide near the anchorage where petroleum tankers offload into lighters and near where the Cape May—Lewes Ferry crosses the Bay, but the navigation channel is the same width throughout and is near the naturally deep channel where the tankers offload, so there could be spatial—temporal conflicts.
		There was no mention of anything impacting Delaware communities in the Environmental Justice discussion of the DEIS, even though there are minorities resident in Port Penn through Claymont, which are the communities that the DEIS mentioned were subject to harm from accidents involving the ships.

	Shorebird Crisis: The Horseshoe Crabs of Delaware Bay
		Trawl samples performed in the bay showed a decline that correlated closely with the census data.
		Aerial surveys of the bay found that birds that in previous years had been evenly distributed around the bay were heavily concentrated around one section of the Delaware side of the bay, the only place where crabs had spawned in large numbers.
		Surveys do show that there has been a significant decline in the horseshoe crab population in the bay, and the commercial harvest is the most significant and controllable source of mortality in the horseshoe crabs.
