Join us andSeven Hills Pasta Co to try Atlantic Sea Farms kelp pasta with green crab sugo at the Boston Public Market! During this free event, we'll be chatting about invasive species and the impact of climate change on our shifting oceans and diet.

Invasive green crabs eat native shellfish species, outcompete local crabs, and destroy vital seagrass habitat when foraging for food. Aided by warming waters, green crabs are expanding their habitat, thereby putting pressure on marine ecosystems already impacted by climate change.

Kelp is a sustainable aquaculture crop with fantastic nutritional qualities as well. Working kelp in our diet supports local fisheries, regulates marine ecosystems and introduces important nutrients into our diet as well.

By eating our way out of the green crab invasion and cultivating kelp in our local waters we can achieve two important goals through the preparation of one delicious meal. Not only are the environmental goals complementary but the gastronomical pairing is simply a match made in heaven.
