It's going to get toasty this week. Remember seasonal high water and air temperatures as well as low oxygen can cause fish to become sensitive and stressed, with increased mortality during catch-and-release fishing. Learn what you can do here: go.usa.gov/xymYj

Horseshoe crabs do not bite or sting. Their tail may look scary but it’s used to help them if they get flipped over by a wave. If you see one on their back, it’s okay to help them. Just be careful and pick them up by the sides of the shell, not the tail. Video by Kristin Johnson
