Marine Biology Class Studies Nor'easter Effects on Mole Crabs
Original: Watch: Marine Biology Class Probes Nor’easter Impacts on Mole Crab Abundance
A marine biology class at Monmouth University has documented fieldwork examining how recent Nor'easter storms affected mole crab populations along the shore. Students are measuring changes in mole crab abundance after the storms, offering a hands-on look at how coastal weather events reshape beach ecosystems. The university shared footage of the class probing the sandy surf zone for the small crustaceans.
Why now: A recent Nor'easter has drawn local attention to storm impacts on coastal wildlife and student research at Monmouth University.
