About the Author: Scholar, Explorer, Scientist Dr. John T. Tanacredi is widely recognized as one of the foremost specialists in conservation biology of island and coastal ecology. His stellar career anchored in fieldwork spans from his serving as a flight meteorologist "Hurricane Hunter" with the US Navy, an environmental impact analyst with the US Coast Guard, a research ecologist and one of the first eco-toxicologists with the National Park Service, and a global authority on the conservation of Horseshoe Crabs.
He has held Research Associate positions at the American Museum of Natural History, Department of Invertebrate Zoology; Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University (Visiting Scientist National Park Service), the Chair of the Environmental Committee at the New York Academy of Sciences and continues today as Conservation Committee Co-Chair for the Explorer's Club.
Dr. Tanacredi has written extensively on a diverse range of conservation issues and has authored 6 books and over 60 peer reviewed scientific publications. He is a pioneer in biodiversity research efforts on Easter Island and has been honored with the discovery of a new species being named after him found on Easter Island (Cryptopontius tanacredii). His 26 years as a supervisory research scientist with the National Park Service has been perpetuated after his retirement with his academic accomplishments at Molloy College in creating the CERCOM Field Station for students in the Earth and Environmental Sciences as serving as the director of CERCOM for over 19 years.
Dr. Tanacredi is one of the founding members of the IUCN-SSG for Horseshoe Crabs and principle coordinator of the 1st International Conference on Horseshoe Crab Conservation and Biology held in 2007. Dr. Sylvia Earle has recently coined him the "Horseshoe Crab Whisperer" for fostering conservation of all Horseshoe Crabs species and their habitat on a global scale. He has continued his Long Island Horseshoe Crab Habitat Inventory of some 115 locations on Long Island tracking Horseshoe Crab breeding conditions and habitat. He has initiated at CERCOM/ Molloy College several cooperative, long-term agreements with Federal and State governments, local/NGO's and several colleges and universities from around the world. Research activities include captive breeding techniques for aqua-cultured Horseshoe Crabs and monitoring estuarine ecosystem health.
He has been interviewed by NY Times, New Yorker Magazine, Huffington Post, Newsday, Scientific American, National Geographic, and a host of local Long Island traditional and social media outlets.
