Thought-provoking image, nice choice of filtering to give a fairly chilling meaning to what you photographed. So much trash, and still, nature continues on.

I have never ever seen a horseshoe crab before...and to see so many right there...WOW!

Thanks for sharing!

William Sutherland replied to Janet Brien:

Sadly these are dead horse shoe crabs that never made it much past their birth. :( About a couple weeks earlier I actually saw numbers of them (30 at one point) mating on the edge of the water to lay their eggs in the sand. It was only the second and third time I actually saw them alive outside of captivity. One of them actually had a crustacean attached to its shell just below the eyes and so I named it "Pucker Lips." Others were covered with barnacles.

Below are photos of living horseshoe crabs:
