Here in serene North Pacific waters, the European green crab is an unwelcome inhabitant. Like other invasive species, green crabs leave a trail of destruction behind, so people are mobilizing to remove these crabs before they establish a foothold. How can eDNA stop this crustacean invasion before it’s too late?

Hey, teachers! Here’s a cheat sheet of what’s included in this episode of The Nature Files:
• What is an invasive species?
• How and when European green crabs arrived in the North Pacific
• The effect of invasive European green crabs on seagrass beds (on the habitat and other species living there) in the North Pacific Ocean
• Using eDNA to detect, monitor, and help manage invasive populations
• The Coastal Restoration Society; T’Sou-ke First Nation

From invasive crabs to lost whales, tapping into the world of environmental DNA can be the key to solving some of nature’s biggest riddles. Join us as we crack the code on nature and unlock mysteries in our newest series, The Nature Files.
