Come join Washington Sea Grant’s Crab Team’s annual bonanza to cut, weigh, and bag all 800lb of mackerel to be used across the green crab monitoring network in 2025. It can get a bit messy, but there are various jobs to choose from (some less messy than others), along with good music and even better company. Grab a friend and sign up for the fun!

Volunteers are needed from 9am-5pm on Wednesday 2/19 and Thursday 2/20 at the Old Hatchery in the UW Fisheries Center (FIS) (aka the Portage Bay Building).

If you are interested in joining us, please sign up here for a 2hr shift (or more!) by selecting at least one 2-hour time slots by Friday 2/14. After you sign up, we’ll email to confirm your shift date/time(s) and provide further details.

If you have any questions, please email Elyse (Crab Team Graduate Student Assistant) at aek34@uw.edu.

Thank you for considering helping at this year’s bait party!

All our pinchy best,

Crab Team
