Save clams by eating Green Crabs

Green Crab

From Robert Whitcomb’s “Digital Diary,’’ in GoLocal24.com.

European Green Crabs flourish in ocean waters warmed by climate change, are voraciously eating New England clams (especially the soft-shell ones) mussels, oysters, and lobsters, and damaging eelgrass beds and marshes, undermining entire wildlife coastal ecosystems.

But, as I have written, you can help by eating the crabs, which are very tasty. The more they’re harvested, the better. They are very popular amongst gourmands in Europe, by the way.
