Shoreline Group report from Randal
"The European Green Crab is one of the ten most unwanted species in the world. This small coastal crab, which is highly resilient, competes for prey and has the potential to upset the overall balance of the marine ecosystem."
This is something our Shoreline Group can keep an eye out for in local eelgrass beds. If you see it, DFO wants it reported by email to AISPACIFIC@dfo-mpo.gc.ca
