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

Presentations on Dungeness and Red Rock crab science and policy will be provided by experts from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.

managers. Bring questions, concerns and ideas
