Thanks
and thanks for the help on my chiton... I don't know what I was thinking?? What is our definition of territorial waters? All the crabs were either found on the beach at low tide or in shallow water at high tide.

Nice additions!
It just now occurred to me to check "recent images" under Crustacea to see if there had been any non-woodlouse activity here of late. Great to see the guide getting filled out some. I think the general idea was that anything on the beach or in shallow water is welcome. Technically, anything out to the edge of the continental shelf is fair game, I guess, though some may frown upon submissions of deeper-water crustaceans. I can't imagine we'll ever get enough submissions from scuba divers to cause a problem.
