Report Your Crab
If you're crabbing this summer, you can help with C.R.A.B. (Collaborative Research to Assess Bycatch) research, studying the Dungeness crab population. You might get a reward and a chance to win a raffle in the process. Simply look for a tag on your catch, remove the tag and return it to researchers. For more information visit oregoncrabproject.org.
