Alaskans can help identify invasive crab species

A new crab species was spotted in Alaska for the first time last year, and it has the potential to disrupt native species and ecosystems. Alaska Sea Grant is asking Alaskans to help monitor the invasive European green crab on local beaches. Citizens who find European green crabs on Alaska beaches should note the location, take a picture and call the ADFG invasive species hotline at 1-877-INVASIV.
