Padilla Bay: Introduction to Invasive Green Crabs

(Bayview, WA) European green crabs (Carcinus maenas) have invaded nearly every temperate marine habitat worldwide. Though they have been found on the outer coast of Washington and Vancouver Island, B.C. since the late 1990s, they are continuing to expand their range, and are now poised to enter Washington’s inland waters along the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound.

Join us for an introductory talk about the history and ecology of the green crab invasion, and to learn how you can help protect your local shorelines.
