Thanks to volunteers who survey kelp by kayak for a @NWStraits program, we know at least some of the seasonal, underwater forests in #Skagit are holding steady, while those in other areas of #PugetSound are on the decline:

Today, we began extensive work in Drayton Harbor to survey hotspots for removing as many invasive European green crabs as possible.

This collaborative effort with @WDFW will take place daily this week, to make progress against this threat to native species in the Salish Sea!
