“European green crab poses a serious threat to the entire Puget Sound ecosystem — threatening local shellfish populations, hurting salmon and orca recovery efforts, and threatening to undermine our Tribal treaty obligations,” said Murray in a prepared statement. “European green crabs are one of the worst invasive species,” Brian Turner with WDFW told KIRO Newsradio. “They can survive in colder and warmer temperatures, and they also reproduce very quickly.”Officials want residents to send photos to WDFW with locations if they spot the invasive crab.Green crabs are not always green but have five spines on either side of their eyes. They are usually four inches wide or less. They generally eat marine plants, baby crabs, oysters, and clams.
