Dead horseshoe crabs are making some Ocean City, Md. vacations stink
Dead horseshoe crabs in a canal along 94th Street in Ocean City, Maryland, have created a strong stench, disrupting vacations and daily life. The city has hired contractors to clean up the canal, but the problem persists due to the canal's design as a dead end and jurisdictional conflicts with state authorities overseeing bay waters.
