2022 update on the status of the invasive European green crab in Washington State

Presented by
Neil Harrington
Environmental biologist,
Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe

Sunday,
December 4
3 p.m.

Fort Worden Chapel

In 2022 the proliferation of European green crab in Washington was declared an emergency by Governor Inslee. Neil Harrington will go over the biological and ecological implications of this invasive species and detail the fight to prevent their establishment with a focus on the North Olympic Peninsula.

We did it! Giving Tuesday 2022 was a success!

With your help, we surpassed our goal of $20,000 with a total of $30,750 raised! Many thanks to the Skidmores for providing the challenge match.

We are so grateful for your dedication and support of the valuable programs that reach over 20,000 people each year with the message of ocean stewardship!
