Suspect what we are seeing is the first dramatic effects of the acidification of oceans. Recent studies have shown that the most dramatic changes in Washington coast waters have occurred in southern Hood Canal. Most studies also mention that the list of the animals most likely to impacted include Dungeness crabs.
