The ongoing story of the European green crab invasion offers us scientific, social and even psychological drama, which I would like to update by mentioning four new developments:
- The somewhat mysterious finding of a partially eaten green crab on the Bellingham waterfront,
- A “story map” that spells out much of what we know about European green crabs in Puget Sound, including maps, photos and videos.
- Information about Harper Estuary in South Kitsap and other areas where groups of citizen scientists are on the lookout for green crabs, and
- Reports of a new breed of European green crab in Maine that attacks people and may prove to be more destructive than the green crabs that have lived in the area for a very long time.
