***Update***


The Horseshoe Crab Protection Act (Act S.4289 /A.4997)


The act has passed both the NY State Senate and Assembly so, all it needs to become law, is for Governor Hochul to sign it.


YOU CAN HELP by sending a postcard, letter or email to Governor Kathy Hochul asking her to sign the Horseshoe Crab Protection

 



Or mail to:

The Honorable Kathy Hochul

Governor of New York State

NYS State Capitol Building

Albany, NY 12224


Thank you for your support and help in protecting the horseshoe crab. I’m sure if they could, the crabs and the birds would thank you too.

Horseshoe crabs valuable yet vulnerable – play a vital role in marine ecosystems and even in medical research. Their survival matters, just like maintaining the quality and accuracy of our academic work. When I got an assignment at my university, I realized how important timely, polished writing is. That’s when I found Academic Editors, and their academic research paper editing service really helped me improve my work. Just as we can help protect horseshoe crabs, expert editing helps safeguard academic success.

I found the article on the vulnerable status of the horseshoe crab enlightening and deeply concerning. It made me pause and consider how stepping into a complex digital platform like Canvas without the right backup can feel risky and overwhelming. That’s why I'm thinking about using Canvas quiz and exam help not to skip learning, but to ensure support when things get tricky and keep momentum strong.

Feeling empowered by the call for citizen scientists, taking small steps toward big change. I once had to take my online Marketing exam and turned to Take My Online Exam Pro. As someone who’s used their service, I was free to dive into community projects like this without academic pressures looming.
