#EuropeanGreenCrabs feed on many native animals including clams, oysters, mussels, small fish and other juvenile crabs. They outcompete native species for food and destroy beds of shellfish and eelgrass. Because of their invasive nature, PRPA has committed to implementing a monitoring program at 5 distinct sites in which crabs are caught, recorded and released. Note: A Fisheries and Oceans Canada license is required to trap these animals. If you believe you have pulled up an EGC in your recreational crab traps, do NOT kill it and do NOT release it; contact Fisheries and Oceans Canada immediately. #OceanMonitoring

In accordance with PRPA's commitment to #EnvironmentalSustainability, PRPA collects Zooplankton on a regular basis as a a way to monitor and patrol for invasive species, possible blooms, and quality of water. The net is cast into the water against the tide to best collect all the little microorganisms that will be later tested in a lab for specific eggs or larvae that may indicate possible invasive species or a decreased quality of marine life.
