Ask the Weather Guys: Horseshoe crabs

Posted: Updated:

Today's Ask the Weather Guy question comes from Wendy Schofield.

She asks, "What is the best way to deal with the Horseshoe crabs stranded on the beach? If I see a live one is upside down I put them right side up back in the water. Most times they take off but I was wondering if this is similar to the salmon spawning where they die after mating? Should I just leave them to die?"
