    Hi Kari, thanks for your report from April 17th! When taking the overhead photo, be sure to lay all the little crabs out carapace side up so we can verify the crab ID! This helps keep our data quality high for our research partners. So nice to meet you at the Coastal Interpretive Center Training last month! I look forward to reviewing your future reports.
