- Protocol in Focus: Why do we measure European green crabs?
November 17, 2023 We are Crab Team after all, so it’s perhaps no surprise that we are not shy about getting up to our elbows in details about the crabs we catch. But what can we actually learn from looking at size data of crabs? What makes handling all the angry pinchers worthwhile? We’re cove... - Protocol in Focus: Why do we measure native crabs, too?
June 18, 2024 Why Measure Native Species? A Dungeness crab resigning itself to getting measured by a monitor at Kala Lagoon (site #204). Photo credit: Wendy Feltham When it comes to interactions between crabs, whether of the same species or of differing species, size matters. When crabs run into eac... - Protocol in Focus: Where does the data go?
August 17, 2022 This year marks Crab Team’s eighth monitoring season, a fact that completely blows our minds. Some of the Crab Team sites have been systematically sampled since we kicked off in August 2015. As this long term ecological dataset grows even longer, it becomes increasingly valuabl... - Protocol in Focus: How do we steward Crab Team sites?
In addition to creating a scientifically robust sampling scheme, and one that is sensitive to finding green crab when they are rare, Crab Team also put a great deal of thought and guidance into the protocol with the goal of being good stewards of Washington’s shorelines. Even though our goal ... - Molt Search

February 24, 2022 Early detection is one of the best ways to thwart an invasive species, but trying to find some of the first individuals to arrive in a new habitat is no easy task. WSG Crab Team built a monitoring network to meet this challenge: by using multiple search methods and finely tuning th... - Building Citizen Science With Volunteers As Partners: Part 1
2015 was a pilot year for Crab Team monitoring. Here, in a series of two posts, Natalie White, an undergraduate in the UW Program on the Environment Capstone Program, will share the work she did to understand the volunteer experience during our pilot year. In a third post, we’ll fill you in on... - 2023 Volume 1
2023 Volume 1 Crabbing Is A Team Sport November, 2023 Since Washington declared an emergency related to the European green crab invasion nearly two years ago, managers and scientists have dramatically grown state capacity to understand and control green crab... - 2019 Volume 2
2019 Volume 2 Recipe for Successful Management November, 2019 We’re often asked if you can eat green crabs, and whether that is a key to managing them. Green crabs are edible, but thankfully, we don’t currently have anywhere near the number of cr... - Building Citizen Science With Volunteers As Partners: Part 2

Happy New Year! While the weather outside the Crab Team offices makes us happy that it is not yet time to start monitoring this year, we are all hard at work getting ready to launch the 2016 monitoring season – starting with this fantastic new website – made possible by Robyn Ricks, Mar... - Paralytic shellfish poisoning on the Washington Coast
