Stewardship Notes

• WDFW operates an Emergency Management System to coordinate among green crab monitoring and control efforts across Washington State - https://wdfw-egc-hub-wdfw.hub.arcgis.com/.
• Lummi Nation because of its position at the entrance to the Salish Sea and its aquaculture pond (warmer water) have been at the forefront of monitoring and reducing populations as they move in from the outer coast.
