Adopt an Tide Pool - Print
Adopt a tide pool and receive a signed limited edition 8" x 10" print of this striking image from a Monhegan Island tide pool shot by photographer Charlie Nutting.
For many people, the first time they ever see an invasive green crab is in a tide pool. Lifting up rocks and moving around seaweed, you can often find tiny green crabs in a hue of bright green, brown, or tan, often no larger than a quarter. Tide pools provide a sheltered environment for young green crabs where they can avoid waves and predators and feed on small invertebrates including clams, oysters, scallops, limpets, mussels, and starfish. However, when the tide goes out and access to flowing water ceases, these environments can be very harsh and lead to changes in dissolved oxygen and temperature changes. The adaptive invasive green crab copes by hiding in seaweed. Even in its earliest years, it manages to make the tide pool its own personal feeding ground, dominating over other species.
