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 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.
Why now: Recent nor'easter storms along the Mid-Atlantic coast have drawn attention to their environmental impact on shoreline wildlife.
