SCK's first research presentation !!!!!

Last night the SCK's did their first research presentation to the West Ashley boat club. The kids did great and the club members were quite gracious.

Sarah explained about the data collection and how to determine males from females. 

Josiah discussed the difference between blue crabs and stone crabs, as well as demonstrating the difference between the types of traps. 

AnnahBelle explained about how strong the stone crabs are:  a human can grasp at a max of 300 psi, an alligator bites at about 5,000 psi, and a stone crab can pinch at 19,000 psi. Try to imagine something clamping down on your finger three plus times harder than an alligator.

AnnahBelle also did a crab claw cracking demonstration which went over huge. Folks gathered around and did some serious crackin' and eat'in!  

Sarah found some good eat'in of her own!!!  Ice Cream!!!
