Crabs are cool!

 Hello there. One of the things that I really enjoy is crabs. Not only do I find crabs to be enjoyable to eat but I also love to see crab items. A big part of the reason that I find crabs to be interesting is because I grew up in Maryland near the Chesapeake Bay. The population and health of crabs have long been a point of interest in Maryland. A strong crab population provides a boost to the area providing jobs and financial benefits for the area. Recently the crab population in the Chesapeake Bay has shown signs of growth as evident by a recent report from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation .  Within the state of Maryland the crab has become an icon of the state. It is not uncommon to see magnets on cars which feature a crab covered in the state flag. Additionally, there are license plates which feature the blue crab. Summertime is huge from crabs in Maryland as they are a staple of gatherings.
