Diario del proyecto King Crabs of Washington

Someone spotted another baby(?) Salish Sea king crab--the king crab formerly known as 'Puget?'--at the Keystone Jetty today. We are hoping more sightings can turn into some kind of recreational monitoring and identification program. 😆

In 2023 we saw up to eight(?) quite young E. cibarius all adorably hanging out on a boulder. As of 2024, they are gone from there, but new sightings suggest the possibility that one or more of them continues to inhabit the jetty! Please contribute more sightings, thoughts and info.

While existing iNat search tools can show all the kingies in Washington, this project has nevertheless been created to feature observations, community, discussion about the crowning crab species of the region!
