About the Project

This project helped Alaska partners prepare for a coordinated effort to expand community monitoring of the European green crab. Kachemak Bay NERR collaborated with Washington’s Padilla Bay NERR and Sea Grant Crab Team to learn from their well established community monitoring programs. Together, the team developed adaptable training protocols and monitoring kits. The team also hosted two workshops–a knowledge exchange workshop and a “train the trainer” workshop–that brought together numerous state, federal, nonprofit, and Tribal partners. The workshops provided attendees with opportunities to practice consistent monitoring methods and techniques, standardize data collection and sharing, build skills for engagement techniques, and maintain and build new partnerships.
