Adopt an Eelgrass Patch
Eelgrass serves as an important habitat for a wide variety of shellfish, fish, and migratory species such a birds and turtles. Eelgrass also protects against coastal erosion, buffers storms, and serves a a major carbon sink. Unfortunately, green crabs pose a massive threat to eelgrass beds on both coasts of the Americas. Green crabs slice and uproot eelgrass when digging for food such as clams.
Adopt an eelgrass patch and support our efforts to spread awareness on green crab’s impact on seagrass including eelgrass (Zostera marina).
Each adoption kit includes:
An adoption certificate
An informational card highlighting green crab’s impact on eelgrass
Resources on eelgrass restoration efforts
All proceeds support GreenCrab.org: a nonprofit that builds culinary markets for European green crab and spreads awareness of its invasive impact.
