Both of these pressures are driving horseshoe crabs toward extinction. So in 2024 the Center for Biological Diversity petitioned the federal government to protect them under the Endangered Species Act.

Several states, including Connecticut and New Jersey, already have laws banning the harvest of horseshoe crabs.
