Comments | From Drew Lohrer email: Carcinus maenas found at most of these sites (Point Judith, Watch Hill, Narragansett, Newport, and Block Island). Green crabs have declined in rocky intertidal habitats coincident with Hemigrapsus sanguineus invasion. Nevertheless, green crabs still widely abundant. *Some of these locations also fall in HUC # 01090005. |
