There has been some research done on alternatives to horseshoe crab bait done by an Eastern university. The goal of finding an acceptable bait for the fisherpeople who earn a livelihood catching conch and eel is where some funding must go if we are to realise an effective ban or stricter moratorium on the hunting of horseshoe crabs. Many government officials will choose to support people's rights to make a living over saving the red knot unless a viable alternative can be offered.
