Learn about the biology and management of crabs

Puget Sound Crab: Biology and Fisheries Management

Recreational crabbing season opens in the San Juans on July 14. Everyone can learn more about the biology and management of crabs in the Puget Sound in a free public workshop to be held Thursday, May 20 from 7:00-9:00 pm at the Orcas Senior Center. Presentations on Dungeness and Red Rock crab science and policy will be provided by experts from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.

This is a great opportunity to find out how the state sets the seasons and allocations for crab harvest and to talk directly with state shellfish managers. Bring questions, concerns and ideas!
This workshop is being presented by the San Juan County Marine Resources Committee . For more information call Mary Knackstedt, Marine Resources Committee Coordinator at 378-7592.
