    Hello from Southport Island!

    I hope everyone had a wonderful America Week last week! This week the video blog focuses on the European green crab (Carcinus maenas), an aggressive and hungry crustacean that is impacting the coast of Maine.

    I apologize in advance for the savage nature of this week's video. The innocent citizens featured are actually quite sweet children!

I hope you learn a lot and perhaps if you are at the beach this week you can find some of these unwelcome critters yourself! Remember, 5 spines is not so fine.

Hope the video doesn't leave you feeling too crabby!

Wild and free,
The Carrot
