Beside the coiling whip of Bull Creek, three A Rocha interns waded through thorns, making war against the Glossy Privet. As we heaved our shoulders against vines and viper-green barbs, we brandished our weapons: a red flip-saw for hacking, a hawkbill knife for slitting trunks, and a weed-wrench for dragging saplings headfirst from the soil…

The Atlantic Horseshoe Crab is a unique species that calls the entire east coast of the USA home. It has been labelled as Vulnerable by the Internation Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) since 2016. A Rocha USA is working towards the protection of these animals and is studying their unique spawning behaviors in Florida’s Indian River Lagoon, one of the largest estuaries in the United States. This video is a reflection on these creatures and the beauty in how they praise God through their creatureliness. The video was directed by A Rocha USA intern Michaela Stenerson, with written and spoken poetry from Allison Cutting.
