## Resource

Oregon’s Dungeness crab, cataloged as USNM IZ 1548499, is now a national treasure — featured in the Smithsonian’s “From These Lands” exhibit for America’s 250th birthday. This iconic Pacific coast crustacean, vital to Oregon’s fishing economy and coastal identity, was even championed by fourth graders in 2009 who successfully campaigned for it to become the state’s official symbol. On display until December 2029 at the National Museum of Natural History, the crab embodies Oregon’s deep oceanic heritage and the nation’s rich, diverse story.
