Well green crabs are an invasive species originally from Europe but snuck over to Maine in the ballast water (Fresh or salt water, sometimes containing sediments, held in tanks and cargo holds of ships to increase stability and maneuverability during transit). What is and invasive species you may be asking? Well an invasive species is a species whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health, which is exactly what green crabs did. What was the first thing green crabs did when they came over here? They started eating clams, not a big deal right? Wrong.
Not only are clams essential
