KELT Winter Lecture Series: Blue Crab

Thursday, January 23, 2025, 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM

As the Gulf of Maine is warming (faster than 99% of the rest of the world’s), many species are expanding their range - including blue crabs. Manomet and the Maine Department of Marine Fisheries have called on fishermen to track and report their observations through an online survey.

Blue crabs could have a negative impact on local shellfish populations, and on local aquaculture industries (lobster fisheries, oyster farms and clam digging). However, this species could also become a new fishery in Maine, expanding the market.

Join Jessie Batchelder from Manomet Conservation Sciences in a conversation about these fascinating creatures and their future in Maine waters.
