Blue Crab Species Team

(click on the Blue Crab to learn more about this species)

Maryland Sea Grant solicited nominations for members to serve on the Blue Crab Species Team from managers, academics, and stakeholders in the Chesapeake Bay region.  Following is a list of members of the Blue Crab Team and the Species Support Staff (SSS) for the team, a PhD-level student whose dissertation research focuses on blue crabs.  The Blue Crab Team held its first meeting in early January, 2009 and completed its work in April, 2010.  The Blue Crab Background and Ecosystem Issue briefs are now complete and can be viewed via the link below.  The QETs are currently developing research proposals to generate the ecosystem based reference points required to target the critical ecosystem stressors identified for blue crabs in this set of documents.

Thank you to all of the Blue Crab Species Team Members and outside contributors who worked to develop the Blue Crab Background and Issue Briefs!
