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 is investigating how recent nor'easter storms affect mole crab populations along the New Jersey 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 fieldwork highlights the value of undergraduate research in tracking storm-driven environmental change.

Why now: The storm's recent passage along the mid-Atlantic coast has drawn attention to its ecological effects on local beaches.
