This picture was taken by Barry Gooch who is the Field Coordinator for the Cooperative Research Program run by The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. Barry shows here how blue crabs in the ACE Basin are being tagged and measured to monitor their population. We are grateful to both Barry and SC DNR for allowing us to share this photo with you.
Keeping an eye on the blue crab population ensures that future generations of South Carolina fishermen and residents will be able to make a living and enjoy fresh local seafood on their plates.
