Watch: Why we monitor for green crabs
The Washington Sea Grant Crab Team’s volunteer-based early detection program helps us stay on top of potential new invasions of the green crab.
In this new video, Crab Team Program Lead Emily Grason takes us to our longest-running monitoring site in the South Puget Sound, where we are glad to report that no green crabs have been found.
