User Submitted Data

Observation Type: Timed survey

Molts/crabs found: Yes I found molts or crab

Hard for me to identify the crab species. One large one (in a photo showing one crab) was alive and unhappy to be handled. I hope you guys can identify than. I doubt I found a green crab.

    Hi Emma, thanks for your report! Looks like you’ve got 2 red rock crabs in that first photo, 3 graceful crabs (the smaller ones) and 1 Dungeness crab in the second photo, and another big red rock crab in the last photo. No green crabs in sight!
