Little is known about this iconic, massive gathering of giant spider #crabs (Leptomithrax gaimardii) in Port Phillip Bay, #australia Very few studies have been published on this phenomenon and these Australian natives in general, leaving many questions unanswered to why they gather, how many there are, and how they live their lives. Scientists have observed crabs molting during this aggregation and suggest that they do so in such large numbers to help protect them when they are soft and vulnerable to predators after a molt. To better understand them, scientists started a citizen science project called, Spider Crab Watch. If you see a giant spider crab you can document your sighting, adding it to a live database. You can also help build out this database from land by classifying some of the thousands of images they have taken. #marinebiology #science #sciencefacts #ocean #citizenscience #waterlust #ecology

► Full report in Multihulls World N°197: https://www.multihulls-world.com/articles-catamaran-trimaran/lagoon-world-escapade-over-400-catamarans-get-together-all-over-the-world ► It's not every day that a shipyard celebrates its 40th anniversary... and when it's the world’s #1 cruising multihull shipyard, things are bound to be done in style! At Lagoon, celebrations are taking place throughout 2024, having started in March with the presentation of the Lagoon 60 at their Bordeaux site and continued with the Lagoon Escapade. Over the long weekend of May 17, 18 and 19, no fewer than 30 owners’ rendezvous were held simultaneously all around the world (well, almost simultaneously, ignoring the time difference...). In all, 300 Lagoons and 1,500 crew celebrated this anniversary. We were at the Lagoon Escapade in Turkey with Lagoon brand manager Thomas Gailly. ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
