A marine biology class at Monmouth University has been studying how recent nor'easter storms affect mole crab populations along the New Jersey shore. Students are measuring crab abundance before and after the storms to see how these powerful coastal weather events reshape beach ecosystems and the small crustaceans that live in the surf zone.
