First Anniversary of Crabs of the World

Greetings crabbers of the world,
Thanks to all of you--scuba divers on remote islands, beachcombers, hikers, and other intrepid naturalists with cameras-- we have 545 species of crabs on the first anniversary of this project. Many are quite unusual animals, and we now have crab observations from all over the world. I really appreciate how some of our 145 members have added other people's observations to this project. Thank you! If anyone would like to share interesting crab information, please let me know, as I occasionally post news about our project. Here where I live on the Olympic Peninsula on the farthest northwest corner of the continental United States, I'm involved in a crab project you may be interested in. For the second year I'm volunteering with a small team setting out traps and examining molts to search for the European Green Crab, Carcinus maenas. Sadly this highly invasive species has arrived in Puget Sound, not far from where we're searching. If you'd like to learn more, here's the link: https://wsg.washington.edu/crabteam/
Congratulations on helping build a rather special project with Crabs of the World!
Wendy
