It's a time for blue crabs to come out of their shells and for sea- food lovers to savor the taste of these soft-bodied delicacies. It's also a time when crabbers are busiest. If you're thinking of starting a crab- shedding operation, you'll want to order A Guide to Soft-Shell Crabbing. Written by Wayne Wescott, Sea Grant's marine advisory agent in Man- teo, the 32-page book is designed for the layman who is considering crab shedding. It includes sections on blue crab biology, identifying and handling "peelers," harvesting methods, shed- ding methods and more. In addition to diagrams and illustra- tions, color photos depict the various stages of peelers. These photos enable the novice to recognize the subtle signs of a blue crab preparing to molt. For a copy of A Guide to Soft-Shell Crabbing, write Sea Grant. Ask for UNC-SG-84-01. The cost is $3. Study a new marine environment without ever opening a book. Join Lundie Spence, Sea Grant's marine education specialist, for a teacher workshop in the Caribbean seaport of Belize. July 4 to 11, participants can take a first-hand look at coral reefs, man- grove systems, grass flats and rain forests. And they can paddle a canoe, snorkle or swim in tropical waters. The workshop, which is cospon-. sored by Sea Grant, is open to teachers from any state. The trip costs $950 from Miami. For an application, write Spence at Sea Grant. North Carol ina s Albemarle / Pa
