The Future of Oceans lecture series - The Unsung Roles of Crabs and Shrimps

On October 27, 2024, the Port Townsend Marine Science Center welcomed Greg Jensen for a Future of Oceans lecture presentation. “Crabs & Shrimps: Their Unsung Roles in Salish Sea Ecosystems” Crabs and shrimps are some of the most familiar (and tasty) denizens of the deep, yet their lifestyles and the ecological roles that they play are often dramatically different from their public personas. I will dispel some of the myths and misconceptions about these fascinating animals and share observations, photos, and video of unexpected and unique behaviors that will change your perception about crustaceans and give you a new appreciation for their varied roles in marine ecosystems. Greg Jensen is a biologist and instructor at the University of Washington, and author of several books including “Crabs and Shrimps of the Pacific Coast” and “Beneath Pacific Tides”. An avid diver and underwater photographer, he has spent over five decades studying the marine life of the Pacific Northwest with a particular interest in crustaceans. He lives with his wife Pam (also a crab biologist) and several (mostly) well-behaved turtles in Bremerton, Washington. The Port Townsend Marine Science Center's Future of Oceans lecture series draws on the commitment of professional researchers and educators across all academic spectrums to help define and inspire the health of our oceans. The Port Townsend Marine Science Center is grateful to the Darrow family for their ongoing support of the lecture series.
