Official April 2023: What is the CCAG? CCAG introductory video. (YouTube trailer)

Very exciting video contains the first  CCAG footage of crab molting! Little Lalzo, a juvenile yellow shore crab less than 1 cm wide, molted on April 1, 2023. When we captured Little Lalzo, we didn't expect him to perform 2 molts here at the CCAG. He came here October 2nd, 2022.

Basher eats a Tortilla after his molt in Calistoga. This was the day (April 14, 2023)  after he came back from vacation.

If you go to the TidesChart.com website and it says "-0.33ft," what exactly would that look like at the beach? How much roaming space would you have? April 19, 2023

Amazing up-close view of our shore crabs at the CCAG in a small container. Featuring Lottie (bubbles-a-lot) Burgundy, Luzlo-Douglas, Cinnyboi, Basher, Little Lalzo and Little Jeylin. From May 17, 2023.

The CCAG introduced a common intertidal species, a chiton on June 18, 2023. The Mossy Chiton, aka "sea cradle," is a type of mollusk that is common along the Pacific Coast. It is a relative of the Gumboot Chiton, a larger and more recognized species. The CCAG also introduced new anemones.

The history of the CCAG's Dollhouse.  Narrarated by Becky, Blob's Pet Sheep, all it is is some photos of the CCAG pink dollhouse starting in June 2022 and ending in June 2023. Blob aptly chose the song "Scream" by Michael and Janet Jackson be cause she thought it relates to the CCAG's reaction to the AC.

I'm tired of injustice, I'm tired of the schemes

Your lies are disgusting

So what does it mean

Kickin' me down, I got to get up

As jacked as it sounds

The whole system sucks

A mini film released July 14, 2023, that showcases the crabs living at the CCAG, hence the name "Intertidal Crabs." The Crabs were filmed in a small plastic container with sand and other items that made them look like the tidepool. We didn't film in the actual tank because there was too much water.

The CCAG  replaces their old dollhouse with a new Barry Bronxtin building in October 2023.

CCAG update December 2023. The Happy Craft Takes to the Skies, Burgundy grows back pincers, no one has came in 3 months and more. Watch to find out about a piddock that is living in a CCAG rock, and what the tank looks like now.

The P8 "happy craft" flies steadily for an upcoming December 17-21 2023 trip to Lake Tahoe.

December 23, 2023 - a new banana slug opens up. However, the banana slugs are not in the habitat yet. The only residents of the habitat today are 16 millipedes, Sudsy the snail, Sparkle and Sun the banana slugs (not shown in video) and an isopod or 2. Watch the video to see what we've improved.

The P8 drone was replaced with a high tech Potensic Atom SE drone that is capable of more than the P8 in December of 2023. See the Potensic's maiden (first) flight and camera footage here.
