Field Work Friday

It’s #FieldWorkFriday

This week marks the start of our transition between the busy summer season and upcoming winter monitoring. The team is diving headfirst into data entry, compiling everything we’ve collected over the last few months. We use this data to track year-over-year trends and visualize changes happening within our local ecosystems.

As for time in the field, this week’s European Green Crab survey turned up a lot of native Red Rock Crabs. We paid special attention to the different techniques they use to hide once released. Notice how the first crab scurries off into the depths, while the other takes advantage of the soft substrate to quickly bury itself.
