The Dungeness crab, Metacarcinus magister (formerly Cancer magister), is a species of crab that inhabits West Coast eelgrass beds and water bottoms from Alaska's Aleutian Islands to Santa Cruz, California.[2] They are named after Dungeness, Washington,[2] which is located approximately five miles north of Sequim and 15 miles east of Port Angeles. Its (former) binomial name, Cancer magister, simply means "master crab" in Latin.
