With that, Mr. President, I want to conclude by commenting that our day together began and ended with citizen science. The very first thing we did was to visit Delaware's national park to participate in a bio blitz, where volunteers from all over the country were identifying species and categorizing the threats to them from climate change. The very last thing we did was to count horseshoe crabs along the Cape Henlopen shore. I must say that my colleague from Rhode Island, even though there was driving rain and there were difficult conditions, was passionate and determined to do everything we could to contribute to the counting effort of the horseshoe crabs that day. It was a terrific opportunity to see a State that is engaged in planning and preparation and to witness one of the most remarkable migrations across our globe. I want to express my gratitude to Senator Whitehouse for his leadership on this issue.
