August 6, 2025

Today we continue our underwater tour with our super special guest photographer, Megan Berg! 

I'm an Indo-pacific Swimming Crab
I'm not native to Florida, as my name would suggest
I appear to be quite aggressive
Which could adversely affect native Blue Crab harvest.

Location: Blue Heron Bridge, Phil Foster Park, Riviera Beach, FL
