    Hi Scott, You’re right that you found a pair of red rock crabs out there. Thanks for taking the time to submit your findings! You’re data can go even further next time if part of a timed, 20min search. It’s those timed surveys that go towards our research-ready dataset, but we appreciate getting opportunistic observations like these too. Glad to have you part of this important monitoring work with us! – Lisa
