April "zombie crab" sampling report and citizen scientists!

This post is a bit belated due to end of the semester craziness... :)
On April 9th, we did our April sampling event for the "zombie crab" project, and this time we had citizen scientists work with us at our two sites within Goose Creek State Park! We were very grateful for their assistance, and they had a chance to learn all about zombie crabs and how we field sample for our ongoing research. We also had a volunteer work with us in the lab to process those samples afterwards. This is something we intend to continue into the future. Thank you to our volunteers!

It was a beautiful day for being out in the field. Below are some pictures from our field sampling in the Pamlico River (and one picture from the lab!):
